With a total surface area of around 20 square feet, skin is the biggest organ of the body and the outermost layer of the human body. It protects us from germs and the environment, helps control body temperature, and allows us to feel touch, heat, and cold. Dadru (Fungal infection), one of the main skin diseases listed in Ayurveda, is one of the many skin diseases that exist today. Dadru and tinea, sometimes referred to as a fungal skin illness in the current medical system, are related. The most prevalent clinical manifestations are circular red spots and excessive, intense itching. The particular instruments for diagnosing a fungus infection are a fungal culture and 10-20% KOH. Virechana (Purgation), Raktamokshna (Bloodletting), and Shamana chikitsa (Pacification treatment) are used to treat Dadru (Fungal infection) in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Here, we'll talk about Nidana (causes), Samprapti (etiopathogenesis), Lakshan (clinical characteristics), Chikitsa (therapy), Pathya-Apathya, and ways to avoid getting a fungus infection called Dadru kushta.
