Brief Summary: This is a Phase I/II single-arm clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of Shankhadrava, an Ayurvedic preparation, in the management of Mashaka (moles). The study will assess the potential of Shankhadrava to remove moles from their base and prevent recurrence through its cauterizing and detoxifying properties. A total of 40 eligible participants, aged 18–40 years, presenting with Mashaka will receive topical application of Shankhadrava for a maximum of 21 days. The trial will monitor changes in mole characteristics (size, color, elevation, texture), recurrence, and any adverse effects. The findings may provide a natural, cost-effective alternative to modern mole removal techniques.
