A comparative clinical study of sneha dagdha and lauha shalaka dagdha after chhedana karma of kadara w.s.r.to Corn

Kadara is mentioned in Kshudra roga  which is described by Acharya Sushruta in Nidan Sthana .In recent era, the corn symptom is similar of Kadara. Corn is a localized hyperkeratosis of the skin. It is usually occur at the site of pressure e.g. on sole and toes. There is usually a horny induration of the cuticle with a hard center. Corn is initially painless but it may be painful particularly when it is rubbed frequently. Corn has tendency to recure after Chhedana Karma (excision) In reference to Chikitsa, of Kadara, Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Dalhana mentioned the seat of the affected lesion should be excised followed by Dahankarma  so complete removal of hyperkeratotic mass removed up to the central core, it produces pain relief to the patient due to absence of pressure and after Chhedana Karma of Kadara doing Dahanakarma reduces the chance of recurrence and bleeding.
