Abstract

Tinea corporis is a superficial dermatophyte infection of the skin. Tinea corporis is most   often caused by species of Trichophyton rubrum, T. tonsurans and Microsporum canis. Tinea  corporis typically presents as a well-demarcated, sharply circumscribed, oval or circular, mildly  erythematous, scaly patch or plaque with a raised leading edge. In Ayurveda, Tinea corporis can   be co related with Dadru as per the symptoms of the disease.  To evaluate the efficacy of an Ayurvedic treatment regimen for tinea corporis and assess  its impact on symptom relief and lesion resolution. A 52-year-old male patient presented with itching, burning sensation, and a scaly ring-shaped patch on the left abdominal wall. The patient was treated with an Ayurvedic protocol comprising oral medicines and local application. The  patient reported a significant reduction in itching, with the skin patch nearly disappearing.  At the end of treatment, itching had ceased, and the skin patch was completely resolved. The  treatment demonstrated effective resolution of symptoms and lesion clearance.
