Background- All across the world, skin conditions are quite common. Scabies is an acute communicable illness because it can spread fast via close physical contact and is contagious. Little children are particularly prone to it. The symptoms of scabies include nocturnal scratching, vesicular or pustule eruptions, and tiny red lumps and blisters. Ayurveda claims that Pama and scabies are connected. Pama is one of the 18 forms of Kushtha (Skin Illness) listed in the Charak Samhita (Chikitsa Sthana), which is brought on by the vitiation of the Kapha and Pitta Dosha. Aim & Objectives- Evaluate the effectiveness of Arka Tailam in the management of PAMA (Scabies) Methodology -The study was carried out at OPD of Desh Bhagat Ayurvedic college Hospital Mandi Gobindgarh. Discussion- it is discussed that, statistically significant effect (P <0.01) from the clinical study that Arka Tailam local application is effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of scabies (PAMA). Hence, the said drug is useful in management of scabies (PAMA). But complete effect of Permethrin 5% lotion is seen even before 10th day of treatment in most of the patients, and the complete effect of Arka Tailam is seen very late in treatment. Conclusion- Arka Tailam takes longer time to cure the patient and quantity of Arka Tailam is also larger as percentage of active material present in Tailam is less. So, it is clear from the study that disease progress irrespective of sex, religion or creed and is mainly affected low socio-economic group patients which live in densely populated and polluted areas that’s why it spreads fastly from one person to another.
