The body's first and largest organ that interacts with environmental factors like physical, chemical, and biological factors is the skin. Spontaneous remissions and relapses are caused by variations in the external stimuli and the body's innate capacity to deal with these circumstances. These elements interact to produce a specific pattern of reactivity that causes distinctive skin disorders in various body regions. Due to poor diet, filthy living circumstances, and tropical and developing nations like India, the incidence of skin issues has significantly increased in recent years. The body portion that is exposed the most is the skin. Any skin condition causes the patient to feel physically, emotionally, and economically humiliated in his or her society from a beauty standpoint. The terms Twak vikara and Kustha roga are used in Ayurveda to describe skin infections. Dadru is one of the Kushta roga and is referred to as a Dadru Kustha. Due to the similarities in their symptoms, Dadru Kustha and Tinea/Ringworm, a cutaneous fungal illness, are often compared in modern medicine. Aim and Objectives- This study's objective was to evaluate Karanjadi Lepa's effectiveness in treating Dadru Kustha (Tinea). Materials and Methods - Karanjidi Lepa is made from pasted seeds of Azadirachta indica, Cassia tora, and Pongamia pinnata. For 30 days, it was applied topically to the afflicted area. Results - Clinical research indicates that Karanjadi Lepa has a substantial effect in reducing Tinea faciei and Tinea corporis symptoms such itching, erythema, eruption, size of lesion, and number of lesion. Conclusion - All of the constituents in Karanjadi Lepa have antifungal and antibacterial activities, and this leads to positive patient outcomes. The substances are readily available, affordable, and have no adverse effects. It demonstrates a fresh angle for using Ayurveda to treat dermatophytosis.
