Brief Summary

Skin ailments are common in children. Children are particularly susceptible to dermatophytic infections because of their poor personal hygiene habits and poor environmental sanitation. Superficial tinea infections are some of the most common dermatological conditions in children. Hence, it gives negative impact on health and well-being of children.  The Tinea infections are prevalent globally but they are common in tropics and may reach epidemic proportions in geographical areas with higher humidity, over-population and poor hygienic living conditions. They can spread by direct contact from other people (anthropophilic organisms), animals (zoophilic organisms), and soil (geophilic organisms), as well as indirectly from fomites. According to *Acharya Charaka, Nidana sevan* leads to *prakopa* of *Tridoshas* and thus the vitiated Doshas will get *aashrya* in *Twaka, Rakta, Mamsa* and *Ambu* causing the *shaithilyata* in these Dhatus leading to the manifestation of *Kustha roga*. So, the study has been undertaken to understand each and every aspect related to *Dadru Kustha* and proper management protocol. Ayurvedic management is very helpful to improve the life of children suffering from *Dadru Kustha*.
