Abstract

Background: Dadru, a type of Kushtha in Ayurveda, presents with itching, erythema, and circular lesions, resembling all Tinea corporis, a dermatophyte infection. Conventional antifungal treatments may cause recurrence and side effects, whereas Ayurveda focuses on correcting the Kapha-Pitta imbalance. Objective: To compare Dadru with Tinea corporis and evaluate Ayurvedic management.Materials and Methods: Classical Ayurvedic texts were reviewed for nidana, samprapti, and lakshana of Dadru and compared with modern descriptions. Ayurvedic treatments, including Shamana, Shodhana, and external therapies (kashaya, lepa), were analyzed through observational findings. Results: Ayurvedic therapies showed improvement in symptoms with reduced recurrence and better patient compliance.Conclusion: Ayurveda offers a holistic and effective approach for managing Tinea corporis by addressing root causes and minimizing recurrence.
