Brief Summary

Skin is a dressthat one wears for lifetime which plays very important role from protection tocosmetic. As it comes first in contact with environment it is the first barrierof protection from physical, chemical and biological agents. Therefore,diseases of this organ become great deal of misery, mainly because it isvisible.

 In Ayurveda allthe diseases of skin are dealt under the heading of kushta, in other words itcan be known as “Ayurvedic dermatology. Kushta are mainly dividedinto two groups i.e. Maha kushta and Kshudra kushta. Among the number ofkushta, Vipadika falls under kshudra kushta. It is characterized by sphutanaeither in palms or soles or in both with teevra vedana. It is mostcommonly found issue in the present world as the incidence rate is found to be58.4%. When the condition of Vipadika is neglected it affects theliving condition of one’s life as it becomes portal entry for the organisms andcan cause many inflammatory diseases like lymphangitis, eczema, cellulitis etc.

In thecontemporary science, the treatment of cracked foot is Keratolytic (salicylicacid), paraffin, petroleum gel etc.These above-mentionedmedications give temporary relief and fail to minimize the recurrence.
