Neonates, infants & early childhood are prone to get skin diseases due to delicate skin and less immunity. Ahiputan is one of the many diseases explained in Ayurvedic classics among children which is consideredas Ghora and Dhaarun[1,2] which is caused by frequent stagnated urine, faeces and sweat around the anal region for longer duration, resulting into Sphota with Kandu around the anal region. The similar condition can be seen in diarrhea with anal excoriation and in diaper dermatitis. If it is ignored, lead to wide spread infection by bacteria or fungi necessitating vigorous and prolonged treatment. Study conducted with the age from birth to 03 years infants and toddlers with signs and symptoms of Ahiputan were randomly recruited from IPD and OPD of Kaumarabhritya, KLE’s BMK Ayurveda hospital.
