Chikitsa Sthana Chapter 7. Management of Kushtha (Skin Diseases)

Abstract

Kushtha Chikitsa is a compendium of various skin diseases, divided into two groups i.e. major (maha kushtha) and ii. minor (kshudra kushtha). Seven types of major and eleven types of minor skin disorders or dermatosis are described here as guidelines to understand diagnosis and treatment principles of various skin disorders. Etiological factors including antagonistic food, suppression of natural urges especially vomiting, quick change in temperature, exposure to excess heat, and sudden biological changes in fluid volume and muscle mass cause kushtha. Clinical features of skin disorders, their diagnosis according to dominance of dosha as well as their prognosis and treatment is described in detail. Panchakarma (five body purification procedures) are emphasized for management of skin diseases and prevention of recurrence. Local scrapping method for bloodletting in smaller lesions and venesection for large lesions, therapeutic purgation are important treatment measures in kushtha. Medicinal preparations including ghee, formulations for internal administration and external application on skin lesions are described.

Introduction

Skin is the largest organ of the body constituting the integumentary system, comprising of skin, hair and nails etc. It constitutes 16% of body weight. Skin has the total surface area varying 1.2-2.2 sq.m. It is a combined product of ectoderm as well as of mesoderm. Kushtha (skin disorder or dermatosis) is a chronic disease which presents with ugly colors / complexion/ texture and altered tactile perceptions of the skin. The word kushtha is derived from kushnati vapuh meaning that which alters complexion of body by extracting.

All the types of kushtha are caused due to vitiation of tridosha with involvement of skin, blood, lymph and muscular issue. Kushtha is often translated in English as leprosy, which is not correct because of absence of Mycobacterium leprae, though the appearance of skin lesions of mahakushtha resemble leprosy. Etiological factors of kushtha are antagonistic food, toxins released from suppressed natural urges, and practices harmful to the blood and skin. It is tridoshaja disease, but because of variable proportion of one specific dosha, causes variation in features and prognosis. Variable doshic impact on skin, gives different color, complexion, pain sensitivity, texture, deformities, discharge, and tactile perception. Generalized symptoms appear only in prodromal stage.

In the context of kushtha, four aspects of skin are important. First is that it consists of six layers as described in [Cha. Sa.Sharira Sthana chapter 4], and each layer is seat of specific type of gradually progressing kushtha.

Second aspect is that it is a sensory organ too, and is seat of vata dosha. In case of kushtha vitiated vata in skin manifests as, horripilations, numbness, and loss of tactile perceptions.

Third aspect, skin is the sub-tissue or upadhatu of mamsa dhatu, texture of skin depends upon muscle texture, so the dermal deformities spread upto the mamsa dhatu or musculature and skin texture causing ugly shape of skin lesions. Lastly, affliction of deeper layers of skin deteriorates the ulcer healing ability of skin and damages the defense mechanisms against enormous pathological invasions. Thus, the kushtha stands for long time with more and more uglier shape.

This chapter is placed after Prameha Chikitsa, because one of the complications of prameha is carbuncle, which penetrates deeper into the muscles and is very similar to kushtha but the etio-pathogenesis is very different. Indulging in heavy to digest food products is responsible for increase of kleda (excess moisture) in the body. Such kleda is carried by mutra and leads to increase in quantity and frequency of mutra leading to pathogenesis of prameha. When same kleda spreads throughout the body causes shaithilyata (looseness of body tissue) and also vitiates meda dhatu. Vitiated kleda and meda are responsible for mamsa dusti which is responsible for pidika genesis and manifest as change in color, texture and sensation of tvacha (skin). This leads to various skin diseases.

Another disease named visarpa is explained later in 21st chapter of this section also has these components commonly, but due to prominence of impurity in blood that is a rapidly spreading disease whereas kushtha is slow progressing disease. Whereas visarpa advances into the visceral parts, kushtha spreads horizontally and limited to skin only.

All the kushtha are curable except mahakushtha named kakanak, because it does not have any systemic involvements. At the end of the chapter, three types of skin disorders caused by hypo-pigmentations are mentioned as shwitra with their treatments.

Viruddha annapana, excessive intake of drava, snigdha and guru dravyas; restraining natural urges like vomiting etc; exercising or coming in contact of excessive heat after eating excessive quantity of food. Indulging in habits such as, taking shita quality food etc. followed by ushna quality or either fasting followed by heavy meals. Having cold water immediately after exposure to scorching sun, exertion and fear, eating uncooked or raw foods or having meals although previously taken meals have not been digested. Indulging in food and other habits which have been restricted during the phase of Panchakarma.

Consuming new grains, curds, fish, excessive salty and sour food items. Black grams, radish, food prepared from flour paste, sesame, milk and jaggery products. Indulging in sexual activity even if the food is not well digested (sexual intercourse immediately after taking food), sleeping during day time, insulting peers like brahmin / guru and other respected personal and doing sinful acts are the etiological and risk factors of kushtha. [4-8]

The vitiated three doshas- vata, pitta, kapha along with impaired tvak, rakta, mamsa and ambu together constitute seven essential entities which play role in pathogenesis of kushtha. Kushtha can be classified into seven mahakushtha (major skin disorders) and eleven kshudrakushtha (eleven minor skin disorders). Single dosha cannot cause kushtha on its own i.e. kushtha is not an nanatmaja (disease caused by single specific dosha) disease. [9-10]

Tridosha are involved in pathogenesis of all types of kushtha. Depending on dosha predominant symptoms are manifested and treatment should be decided on the basis of symptoms shown in specific kushtha. The dosha presenting important and specific symptoms should be alleviated firstly followed by the treatment of associated dosha.[31-32]

Specific kushtha determine the predominance of specific dosha and vice versa is also true i.e. predominance of dosha determines the specific type of kushtha. Similarly specific symptoms determine the causative factors vice versa causative factors determine the specific symptoms.[33]

Symptoms due to dosha predominance include dryness, atrophy, pricking pain / paraesthesia, pain, constriction or loss of elasticity, hardness, roughness, horripilation, blackish, brownish, slight reddish in color are manifestation of vata dosha.

Burning sensation, redness, exudation, suppuration, offensive smell, stickiness / moist and sloughing of body parts are the symptoms caused by predominance of pitta dosha.

Kapha dosha is responsible for symptoms like whitish discoloration, cold in touch, pruritus, non-progressive / slow progression of disease, elevated; heaviness and oiliness are presented along with maggot’s formation and stickiness like symptoms.[34-36]

If all the symptoms are simultaneously observed, in weak (immune-compromised) patient, suffering from morbid thirst, burning sensation, loss of digestive power and presence of maggots then the intelligent person should avoid treatment (as it is incurable). Further vata kapha predominated kushtha and single dosha predominated kushtha are not so difficult to treat. Whereas kapha pitta and vata pitta dominated kushtha are krichchra sadhya i.e. curable, but with efforts. [37-38]

Principles of management

वातोत्तरेषु सर्पिर्वमनं श्लेष्मोत्तरेषु कुष्ठेषु|

pittottareShu mokSho raktasya virecanaM cAgre||39||

In vataja kushtha, firstly administer ghritapana, whereas in kaphaja kushtha vamana procedure should be done and in pittaja kushtha, virechana along with raktamokshana should be first line of treatment.[39]

वमनविरेचनयोगाः कल्पोक्ताः कुष्ठिनां प्रयोक्तव्याः|

For vamana and virechana drugs mentioned in Kalpa Sthana should be used. Prachhana karma i.e. blood letting by rubbing with coarse device should be carried out if dushya dushti is less and venesection should be carried out in condition where dosha dusya dusti is strong.[40]

Patients with excessive vitiated dosha should be given shodhana therapy repeatedly; taking care about their prana (strength). Excessive elimination of dosha may increase vata dosha which may bring about weakness and in rare condition endanger the life of patient.[41]

स्नेहस्य पानमिष्टं शुद्धे कोष्ठे प्रवाहिते रक्ते|

snehasya pAnamiShTaM shuddhe koShThe pravAhite rakte|
vAyurhi shuddhakoShThaM kuShThinamabalaM vishati shIghram||42||

After shodhana and letting of blood, sneha should be administered since after shodhana, vata dosha enters the shuddha koshtha of patient and is cause for immediate bala kshaya.[42]

If the patches are conjoined together and are more in number, if the body hair above the patches are red in color and if the disease is more than one year old. Such śvitrā never gets cured. If body hair over the patches is not red if skin is thin and pale in color. The disease, if is not old, space between patches is elevated then such śvitrā is sādhya (curable). [175-176]

Etiology, dravya (tridosha, rasa, rakta, mamsa, ambu), various signs and symptoms, predominance of dosha in various kushtha and symptoms as per type of vitiated dosha, curable and difficult to cure types of kushtha, preparation useful in kushtha. Similarly etiology, symptoms, curable and incurable symptoms and treatment of śvitrā have been explained.

The above detailed description has been given by Lord Punarvasu with a view of sharpening the memory and intellect of disciple Agnivesha.

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

Important etiological factors for skin diseases include: Diet and beverages with antagonistic properties, excess intake of liquid, unctuous, heavy to digest food, suppression of natural urges specially that of emesis, excess exercise, exposure to excess heat, excessive eating, quick change in environmental temperature, inappropriate follow up of purification procedures, eating new grains, curd, fish, sesame, excessive salty and sour food, black gram, radish, milk, sugar products, following daytime sleep, and bad thoughts and deeds towards venerable people.
These factors vitiate water component of skin, blood, muscular layer and other layers of skin and localize three dosha in the skin to cause kushtha, layer by layer.
Variable skin manifestations of kushtha depend upon degree of involvement of three vitiated dosha and their effect on four dhatus i.e. rasa, rakta, mamsa and lasika.
With involvement of first and second layer, prodromal symptoms appear. Third and fourth layer involvement results in minor kushtha. Fifth and sixth layer involvement causes mahakushtha.
Dryness, atrophy, pricking pain / paraesthesia, pain, constriction or loss of elasticity, hardness, roughness, horripilation, blackish, brownish, slight reddish in color are manifestation of vata dosha. Burning sensation, redness, exudation, suppuration, offensive smell, stickiness / moist and sloughing of body parts are the symptoms caused by predominance of pitta dosha. Kapha dosha is responsible for symptoms like whitish discoloration, cold in touch, pruritus, non-progressive / slow progression of disease, elevated; heaviness and oiliness are presented along with maggot’s formation and stickiness like symptoms.
Different degree of doshic involvement determines the color, shape, size, symptoms and discharge from the lesions. The treatment differs as per dominance of dosha.

S.No	Dosha	Predominant Sign	Treatment Principle
1	Vata	Dryness, atrophy, pricking pain / paraesthesia, pain, constriction or loss of elasticity, hardness, roughness, horripilation, blackish, brownish, slight reddish in color	Ghee
2	Pitta	Burning sensation, redness, exudation, suppuration, offensive smell, stickiness / moist and sloughing of body parts	Virechana (therapeutic purgation), raktamokshana (bloodletting)
3	Kapha	Whitish discolouration, cold in touch, pruritus, non-progressive/ slow progression of disease, elevated; heaviness and oiliness, stickiness, maggot infestation	Vamana (therapeutic emesis)

If all symptoms appear simultaneously, then the kushtha is untreatable. Similarly, immune-compromised patients and those suffering from morbid thirst, burning sensation, loss of digestive power and lesions have maggots then the prognosis is bad. Vata kapha dominant and single dosha predominated kushtha are easily curable. Whereas kapha pitta and vata pitta dominated kushtha are kricchra sadhya i.e. curable with difficulty.
If the skin lesion is small, then prachchanna (bloodletting by rubbing with coarse device) should be done. If the skin lesions are large and spread all over body, siravyadha (venesection) should be done for bloodletting.
Frequent body purification procedures are needed in treatment of skin diseases. The treatment includes internal purification in the form of therapeutic emesis, purgation etc. and external purification in the form of local applications of lepa of purifying herbs.
Shwitra may be caused by meta-physical causes like sinful deeds and those in previous life.
Therapeutic purgation is main principle of management in shwitra (vitiligo).
Exposure to sunlight is one of the treatments of shwitra.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences )

In the context of kushtha, Ayurveda acknowledges that the human skin consists of six layers, and each layer is seat of specific type of gradually progressing kushtha:

First layer udakadhara, external most layer is responsible for water metabolism. Initial pathology of minor types of kushtha starts with excessive sweating/ discoloration/itching swelling/ altered tactile sense in prodromal stage of kushtha indicative of impairment of water metabolism. This layer may be correlated with stratum corneum.
Second layer is asragdhara, which contains the blood metabolites and impurities of blood trigger the pathology of kushtha and manifest as –bluish black, red, rashes/ pricking pains/ and ulceration. This layer may be correlated with stratum lucidum,
The third layer of skin is the seat of sidhma and kilas kushtha.The third layer may be correlated with stratum granulosum.
The fourth layer is seat of dadru and krushtha. The fourth layer may be correlated with stratum germinosum (combination of spinosum and basale layers),
The fifth layer of skin is seat of makushtha and severe dermal pathologies. The fifth layer may be correlated with papillary layer.
The sixth layer is the seat of most severe mahakushtha, which are incurable. The sixth layer may be compared with reticular layer.(Ch. Sharira 7/4)

Patho-physiology of kushtha

1. Kapāla kushtha

It is rūkṣa, paruṣa, khara in nature which signifies the increase of rūkṣa, khara guna at the level of skin. Roughness, dryness increases when there is destruction of sweat glands (dusti of ambu dhatu), decrease in essential fatty acids (reduce snigdhata of meda, in turn, of kapha), proliferation of keratinocytes. Primary lesion manifest in the form of dry, rough and blackish brownish color. Secondary lesion includes loss of sensation (due to degeneration of nerve endings or less nutrition to the nerve tissue due to atherosclerosis or reduce blood supply) severe pricking pain (nistoda) itching, burning sensation and pustular presentation. Thus conditions of non erythematous eczema, keratosis, atrophic actinic keratosis, non hypertrophic keratosis, seborrhic conditions can be understood in kapāla kushtha.

2. Udumbara kushtha

It is pitta dominated kushtha. Hyper-pigmentation, increased vaso-congestion, burning, pain and pus formation are the symptoms and signs.

Primary lesion manifests as red in color associated with pus, burning sensation caused mainly due to pitta and rakta. Ushna and tikshna guna is responsible for the same.

Secondary lesion includes kleda, kotha, body hair attains brownish color, excessive secretion due to sasneha, sara and drava guna of pitta and rakta.

The infectious and inflammatory phase can be explained thus:

Increased flow of inflammatory factors causes rise in temperature, redness and burning sensation. Eczema is inflammation of the skin. It is characterized by erythematous, vesicular, weeping, itchy and crusting patches. The condition is caused by dysfunctional interplay between the immune system and skin.

Dyshidrosis, discoid eczema, venous eczema, dermatitis herpetiformis, autoeczematization, eczema overlaid by viral infections can be understood under udumbara kushtha.

3. Mandala kushtha

It is predominated by kapha dosha. The sthira, snigdha guna brings about sthirata and snigdhata to the kushtha.

Therefore the lesion is granulomatous in presentation. The early and indeterminate leprosy , especially lepromatous leprosy, is a skin condition consisting of pale macules. It results from failure of Th1 cell activation which is necessary to eradicate the mycobacteria. In Lepromatous Leprosy Th2 response is turned on and because of reciprocal inhibition the cell mediated response is depressed.

4. Rishyajivha kushtha

It is dominated by vata and pitta dosha. Vata dosha brings roughness, pain whereas pitta is responsible for the discoloration, burning sensation whereas both the dosha are responsible for ashugati and samuthana.

Thus inflammatory and degenerative changes dominate the condition. Pathogenesis involving infectious origin or allergic origin may be included. Diseases such as Lyme disease may be included. Expanding redness known as erythema migrans begins at the site of bite after a period of one week. There is no much itching i.e. alpa kandu but the rash is red and warm but generally painless.

Classically the innermost portion remain darker red and becomes indurated (is thicker and firmer).

5. Pundarika kushtha

It is dominated by pitta and kapha. Pitta is responsible for redness, burning sensation, pāka (..), pus formation whereas kapha is responsible for whitish nature, itching and kr̥mi.

Primary lesion manifest as rakta rāji sirā santata utsedavanti i.e. vessel are inflamed and are palpable. Systemic vasculitis may affect the skin and vascular damage may be the main feature in several skin diseases. The histological features that are common are:- Vessel wall damage , red cell extravasation, and invasion of inflammatory cells into vessel walls.

6. Sidhma kushtha

It is dominated by vata kapha dosha, fine powder falls after scratching and resembles color similar to flower of alābū. The specialty of disease is that it is mainly seen in urabhāga i.e. trunk. Tinea versicolar is a condition characterized by a skin eruption on the trunk and proximal extremity. The symptoms of this condition include; fine scaling of the skin producing a very superficial ash like scale. Pale (sveta), dark tan (arun), pink in color (shukla rakta avabhasani) with a reddish undertone (tamra) that can darken when the patient is overheated, such as in a hot shower or during/ after exercise, tanning typically makes the affected areas contrast more starkly with the surrounding skin leading to sharp borders. In people with dark skin tones, pigmentary changes such as hypo-pigmentation (loss of color) are common while in those with lighter skin color hyper-pigmentattion (increase in skin color) is more common. The yeast is thought to feed on skin oils (lipids) as well as dead skin cells.

7.Kakanaka kushtha

It is predominated by all the three dosha. Thus symptoms of all three dosha are observed. The presentation is similar to gunja i.e bright red with black spot. In Nidana Sthana, it has been explained to be of different colors and it is asadhya.

Squamous cell carcinoma or squamous cell cancer or epidermoid carcinoma or squamous cell epithelioma is a cancer of a kind of epithelial cell, the squamous cell. These cells are the main part of the epidermis of the skin, and this cancer is one of the major forms of the skin cancer. However, squamous cells also occur in the lining of the digestive tract, lungs and other areas of body and squamous cell carcinoma occurs as a form of cancer in diverse tissue such as lips, mouth, esophagus, urinary bladder, prostrate, lung, vagina and cervix. Despite sharing the name squamous cell carcinoma there may be tremendous differences in presenting symptoms, natural history, prognosis and response to treatment. It arises from the uncontrolled multiplication of cells of epithelium, or cells showing particular cytological or tissue architectural characteristic of squamous cell differentiation, such as the presence of keratin, tonofilament bundles or dermosomes structures involved in cell to cell adhesion. This non melanoma skin cancer may appear as a firm red nodule, a scaly growth that bleeds or develops a crust or a sore that does not heal.

Minor kushtha

1.Eka kushtha

It is a skin disease caused due to vata kapha predominance. As discussed previously vata dosha is responsible for the degenerative or destructive changes whereas kapha is responsible for obstructive changes.

Aswēdana (Anhidrosis) may be caused by destruction of sweat glands and or integumetary system it may be due to autoimmune process or infection or anhidrosis may be due to obstruction (kapha) in the outlet or blood supply as in micro-angiopathy.

Stimulation of acetylcholine and further ionic changes caused thereafter are responsible for sweating. Lack of such impulse also causes reduced sweating. Astanga Sangrahakara has explained role of vyana vāyu in sweda which when hampered leads to anhidrosis.

Anhidrosis can occur as an isolated condition or as part of a group of symptoms associated with other diseases. Anhidrosis can also occur after skin has been injured, because sweat glands are clogged or obstructed, as an inherited defect, or as a side effect of medication.

Reduced sweating increases dryness of skin which is presented as rough, scaly or flaky skin. The word ichthyosis comes from ancient Greek where ichthys means fish. All types of ichthyosis have dry, thickened scaly or flaky skin.

Ichthyosis vulgaris is a skin condition that causes dry, dead skin cells to accumulate in patches on the surface of skin. It is also known as “fish scale disease” because the dead skin accumulates in a similar pattern to a fish scale.

2. Charmakhya

Skin is similar to elephant (pachyderms) and thick is nature pachys means thick and derma means skin.

The main symptom is skin getting thick thus disease like scleroderma, onchocerciasis, harlequin ichthyosis etc can be considered in this group.

Building up of collagen is associated with thickening of skin. Transport of fats into the space between the skin cells may be another reason for thickening of skin.

Research shows that in diabetic patient thickness of skin is observed reason being collagen bundles become large, disorganized and separated by clear spaces. Small amount of acid mucopolysachrides may be present in upper reticular dermis. Presence of active fibroblast and extensive collagen polymerization in the rough endoplasisic reticulam may be the pathogenesis for thick skin.

Calcium deposition may also be cause for tough and thick skin. Rūkṣata, kharata, guna of vata and shita guna of vata and kapha along with increase of guruta, manda and sthira guna of kapha contribute to thickening of skin. Khara is also property of asthi dhatu which is generated by interplay between prithvi, agni and vayu. Here calcium is representative of prithvi mahabhuta. So prithvi mahabhuta bhuyista āhara or increased parthivagni can lead to increased absorption of calcium from gastrointestinal tract.

3. Kitibha kushtha

Skin diseases in which process of tissue granulation takes place is Kitibha kushtha. When this process takes abnormally Kitibha kushtha is formed. It may take place in psoriasis, lichen planus, lichen sclerosis.

Granulation tissue appearance is light red or dark pink in color (śyāva), being perfused with new capillary loops or buds granular in appearance. Formation of extracellular matrix gives it hard touch and abnormal productions of skin cells (especially during wound repair) leading to overabundance of skin cells. Premature maturation of keratinocytes induced by an inflammatory cascade in the dermis also contributes for the same.

Vata, rakta, mamsa, kapha- all take part in healing of wound but whenever abnormality at the level of these factors takes place granulation process is hampered which gives the kiṇakharasparśa.

4. Vaipadika kushtha

Skin fissure is a cutaneous condition in which there is a linear like cleavage of skin, sometimes defined as extending into the dermis. Skin dryness is the cause.

Cracked skin is often kicked off by a vicious cycle of events starting off as a minor, but leading to painful deep cracks. Plain old dry skin can lead to scaling, scaling can cause itchiness leading to scratching and scratching can cause inflammation and tears of skin that can become fissures which leads to more irritation and pain.

Healthy skin has slightly acidic pH, exposure to substances with an alkaline pH such as many commercial cleansers and hand soaps also contribute to interruptions of skin integrity. Once the skin integrity is disturbed, a homeostatic repair mechanism is stimulated that causes the rapid repair of barrier function. Continued exposure to alkaline substances will slow down repair by inhibiting normal skin acidity when there is continued exposure to unfavourable environmental factors.

Anhidrosis, Dermatitis, Diabetic neuropathy, Eczema, Hypothyroidism, Psoriasis, cold weather, excessive exposure to hot water, detergent chemicals and low humidity can cause cracked skin.

5.Alasaka kushtha

Ganda here means nodular growth. Chronic and repetitive scratching, picking or rubbing may result in permanent changes to the skin, including nodular lichenification (ganda), hyperkeratosis, hyperpigmentation (rāga) and skin thickening.

Nodular prurigo cause is unknown. It is uncertain whether scratching leads to lumps, or if the lumps appear before they are scratched. The reason for the lumps, the inflamation and the increased activity and size of nerves in the skin is under investigation but remains unknown.

Prurigo nodularis, Hyde’s diseases, picker nodules, lichen corneus obtusus, nodular lichen simplex chronicus, nodular neurodematitis circumscripta are various synonyms. The constant scratching leads to development of discrete, excoriated nodular hyperpigmented / purpuric lesion with crusted or scaly surfaces.

The wart like plaque may be observed in dermatosis neglecta; an skin condition in which accumulation of sebum, keratin, sweat, dirt and debris lead to localized patch of skin. Dryness is the main cause for the above pathogenesis and role of vata and kapha in causing dryness is already been discussed.

6.Vichārchikā

It is caused by kapha dominated condition. Kapha by its snigdha, guru, mridu and sheeta guna when increased above normal condition it leads to obstructive changes at the integumentary system. Reduced blood supply causes blackish brown discoloration. Further obstructive changes reduce the local immunity and give a chance for dermatophytes to penetrate the skin barrier. It results in eruptions and thereby causing excessive exudation. Secondary infection and reduced blood supply is cause for pruritus. It can be compared with wet eczema.

-=== Introduction ===
 Skin is the largest organ of the body constituting the integumentary system, comprising of skin, hair and nails etc. It constitutes 16% of body weight. Skin has the total surface area varying 1.2-2.2 sq.m. It is a combined product of ectoderm as well as of mesoderm. ''Kushtha'' (skin disorder or dermatosis) is a chronic disease which presents with ugly colors / complexion/ texture and altered tactile perceptions of the skin. The word ''kushtha'' is derived from ''kushnati vapuh'' meaning that which alters complexion of body by extracting.
-All the types of ''kushtha'' are caused due to vitiation of ''tridosha'' with involvement of skin, blood, lymph and muscular issue.  ''Kushtha'' is often translated in English as leprosy, which is not correct because of absence of Mycobacterium leprae, though the appearance of skin lesions of ''mahakushtha'' resemble leprosy. Etiological factors of ''kushtha'' are antagonistic food, toxins released from suppressed natural urges, and practices harmful to the blood and skin. It is ''tridoshaja'' disease, but because of variable proportion of one specific ''dosha'', causes variation in features and prognosis. Variable doshic impact on skin, gives different color, complexion, pain sensitivity, texture, deformities, discharge, and tactile perception. Generalized symptoms appear only in prodromal stage.
+All the types of ''kushtha'' are caused due to vitiation of ''tridosha'' with involvement of skin, blood, lymph and muscular issue.  ''Kushtha'' is often translated in English as leprosy, which is not correct because of absence of Mycobacterium leprae, though the appearance of skin lesions of ''mahakushtha'' resemble leprosy. Etiological factors of ''kushtha'' are antagonistic food, toxins released from suppressed natural urges, and practices harmful to the blood and skin. It is ''tridoshaja'' disease, but because of variable proportion of one specific ''[[dosha]]'', causes variation in features and prognosis. Variable doshic impact on skin, gives different color, complexion, pain sensitivity, texture, deformities, discharge, and tactile perception. Generalized symptoms appear only in prodromal stage.
-In the context of ''kushtha'', four aspects of skin are important. First is that it consists of six layers (as described in [[Sharira Sthana]] chapter 4), and each layer is seat of specific type of gradually progressing ''kushtha''.

-Second aspect is that it is a sensory organ too, and is seat of ''vata dosha''. In case of ''kushtha'' vitiated ''vata'' in skin manifests as, horripilations, numbness, and loss of tactile perceptions.

-Third aspect, skin is the sub-tissue or ''upadhatu'' of ''mansadhatu'', texture of skin depends upon muscle texture, so the dermal deformities spread upto the mansa dhatu or musculature and skin texture causing ugly shape of skin lesions. Lastly, affliction of deeper layers of skin deteriorates the ulcer healing ability of skin and damages the defense mechanisms against enormous pathological invasions. Thus, the ''kushtha'' stands for long time with more and more uglier shape.
+Third aspect, skin is the sub-tissue or ''upadhatu'' of ''[[mamsa dhatu]]'', texture of skin depends upon muscle texture, so the dermal deformities spread upto the [[mamsa dhatu]] or musculature and skin texture causing ugly shape of skin lesions. Lastly, affliction of deeper layers of skin deteriorates the ulcer healing ability of skin and damages the defense mechanisms against enormous pathological invasions. Thus, the ''kushtha'' stands for long time with more and more uglier shape.
-This chapter is placed after [[Prameha Chikitsa]], because one of the complications of ''prameha'' is carbuncle, which penetrates deeper into the muscles and is very similar to ''kushtha'' but the etio-pathogenesis is very different. Indulging in heavy to digest food products is responsible for increase of ''kleda'' (excess moisture) in the body. Such ''kleda'' is carried by ''mutra'' and leads to increase in quantity and frequency of ''mutra'' leading to pathogenesis of ''prameha''. When same ''kleda'' spreads throughout the body causes ''shaithilyata'' (looseness of body tissue) and also vitiates ''meda dhatu''. Vitiated ''kleda'' and ''meda'' are responsible for ''mansa dusti'' which is responsible for ''pidika'' genesis and manifest as change in color, texture and sensation of ''tvacha'' (skin). This leads to various skin diseases.

 Another disease named ''visarpa'' is explained later in 21st chapter of this section also has these components commonly, but due to prominence of impurity in blood that is a rapidly spreading disease whereas ''kushtha'' is slow progressing disease. Whereas ''visarpa'' advances into the visceral parts, ''kushtha'' spreads horizontally and limited to skin only.
-All the ''kushtha'' are curable except ''mahakushtha'' named ''kakanak'', because it does not have any systemic involvements. At the end of the chapter, three types of skin disorders caused by hypo-pigmentations are mentioned as ''shwitra'' with their treatments.

-==== Management of pitta-kapha dominant kushtha ====
+In ghee smeared jar one ''drona'' of decoction of ''khadira'' should be added. To these 6 ''palas'' each of powdered ''triphala, trikatu, viḍaṅga, haridra, musta, vāsā, indrayava,'' bark of ''sauvarni'' (''dāruharidra''), and ''guduchi'' should be added. The jar should be kept for one month inside a heap of grains. Every morning if this preparation is taken then in one month ''mahakuṣṭha'' gets cured and within 15 days ''ksudrakuṣṭha'' is cured. It is also useful ''arśa, śvāsa, bhagandar, kasa, kilasa, prameha'' and ''shosha''. Skin achieves golden complexion after having ''kanakabindu''. This ends explanation of ''kanakabindvariṣṭa''. It is useful in all ''[[vata]]ja, [[pitta]]ja'' and ''[[kapha]]ja kushtha''.

-==== Various stages of shwitra ====
+== Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles) ==
-दारुणं चारुणं [१] श्वित्रं किलासं नामभिस्त्रिभिः|
+*Important etiological factors for skin diseases include: Diet and beverages with antagonistic properties,  excess intake of liquid, unctuous, heavy to digest food, suppression of natural urges specially that of emesis,  excess exercise, exposure to excess heat, excessive eating, quick change in environmental temperature, inappropriate follow up of purification procedures, eating new grains, curd, fish, sesame, excessive salty and sour food, black gram, radish, milk, sugar products, following daytime sleep, and bad thoughts and deeds towards venerable people.
-विज्ञेयं त्रिविधं तच्च [२] त्रिदोषं प्रायशश्च तत्||१७३||
+*These factors vitiate water component of skin, blood, muscular layer and other layers of skin and localize three ''[[dosha]]'' in the skin to cause ''kushtha'', layer by layer.
-दोषे रक्ताश्रिते रक्तं ताम्रं मांससमाश्रिते|
+*Variable skin manifestations of ''kushtha'' depend upon degree of involvement of three vitiated ''[[dosha]]'' and their effect on four ''[[dhatu]]s'' i.e. ''[[rasa]], [[rakta]], [[mamsa]]'' and ''lasika''.
-श्वेतं मेदःश्रिते श्वित्रं गुरु तच्चोत्तरोत्तरम्||१७४||
+*With involvement of first and second layer, prodromal symptoms appear. Third and fourth layer involvement results in minor ''kushtha''.  Fifth and sixth layer involvement causes ''mahakushtha''.
-dāruṇaṁ cāruṇaṁ [1] śvitraṁ kilāsaṁ nāmabhistribhiḥ|
+*Dryness, atrophy, pricking pain / paraesthesia, pain, constriction or loss of elasticity, hardness, roughness, horripilation, blackish, brownish, slight reddish in color are manifestation of ''[[vata dosha]]''. Burning sensation, redness, exudation, suppuration, offensive smell, stickiness / moist and sloughing of body parts are the symptoms caused by predominance of ''[[pitta dosha]]''. ''[[Kapha dosha]]'' is responsible for symptoms like whitish discoloration, cold in touch, pruritus, non-progressive / slow progression of disease, elevated; heaviness and oiliness are presented along with maggot’s formation and stickiness like symptoms.
-vijñēyaṁ trividhaṁ tacca [2] tridōṣaṁ prāyaśaśca tat||173||
+*Different degree of ''doshic'' involvement determines the color, shape, size, symptoms and discharge from the lesions. The treatment differs as per dominance of ''[[dosha]]''.

-Dāruṇa, Cāruṇa, and Kilāsa are the various synonyms for śvitrā. It is of 3 types and generally all the tridosha are involved. If the dosha responsible for śvitrā are seated in the rakta dhatu then the colour of hypopigmentation is red. It is coppery coloured if dosha are seated in māṁsa dhatu and whitish in colour if located in meda dhatu. The subsequent ones are more difficult to treat than earlier ones.(173-174)

-==== Summary ====
+It is ''rūkṣa, paruṣa, khara'' in nature which signifies the increase of ''rūkṣa, khara guna'' at the level of skin. Roughness, dryness increases when there is destruction of sweat glands (''dusti'' of ''ambu [[dhatu]]''), decrease in essential fatty acids (reduce ''snigdhata'' of ''[[meda]]'', in turn, of ''[[kapha]]''), proliferation of keratinocytes. Primary lesion manifest in the form of dry, rough and blackish brownish color. Secondary lesion includes loss of sensation (due to degeneration of nerve endings or less nutrition to the nerve tissue due to atherosclerosis or reduce blood supply) severe pricking pain (''nistoda'') itching, burning sensation and pustular presentation. Thus conditions of non erythematous eczema, keratosis, atrophic actinic keratosis, non hypertrophic keratosis, seborrhic conditions can be understood in ''kapāla kushtha''.

+Secondary lesion includes ''kleda, kotha,'' body hair attains brownish color, excessive secretion due to ''sasneha, sara'' and ''drava [[guna]]'' of ''[[pitta]]'' and ''[[rakta]]''.
-The above detailed description has been given by Acharya Lord Punarvasu with a view of sharpening the memory and intellect of disciple Agnivēśā.
-=== Tattva Vimarsha ===
+The infectious and inflammatory phase can be explained thus:
-•	Important etiological factors for skin diseases include: Diet and beverages with antagonistic properties,  excess intake of liquid, unctuous, heavy to digest food, suppression of natural urges specially that of emesis,  excess exercise, exposure to excess heat, excessive eating, quick change in environmental temperature, inappropriate follow up of purification procedures, eating new grains, curd, fish, sesame, excessive salty and sour food, black gram, radish, milk, sugar products, following daytime sleep, and bad thoughts and deeds towards worshipful persons.
+Increased flow of inflammatory factors causes rise in temperature, redness and burning sensation. Eczema is inflammation of the skin. It is characterized by erythematous, vesicular, weeping, itchy and crusting patches. The condition is caused by dysfunctional interplay between the immune system and skin.
-•	These factors vitiate water component of skin, blood, muscular layer and other layers of skin and localize three dosha in the skin to cause kushtha, layer by layer.
-•	Variable skin manifestations of kushtha depend upon degree of involvement of three vitiated dosha and their effect on four dhatus i.e. rasa, rakta, mansa and lasika.
-•	 With involvement of first and second layer, prodromal symptoms appear. Third and fourth layer involvement results in minor kushtha.  Fifth and sixth layer involvement causes mahakushtha.
-•	Dryness, atrophy, pricking pain / paraesthesia, pain, constriction or loss of elasticity, hardness, roughness, horripilation, blackish, brownish, slight reddish in colour are manifestation of vata dosha.  Burning sensation, redness, exudation, suppuration, offensive smell, stickiness / moist and sloughing of body parts are the symptoms caused by predominancy of pitta dosha. Kapha dosha is responsible for symptoms like whitish discolouration, cold in touch, pruritus, non-progressive / slow progression of disease, elevated; heaviness and oiliness are presented alongwith maggot’s formation and stickiness like symptoms.
-•	Different degree of doshic involvement determines the color, shape, size, symptoms and discharge from the lesions. The treatment differs as per dominance of dosha.
-Sr. No.	Dosha	Predominant sign	Treatment principle
-.		Vata dosha	Dryness, atrophy, pricking pain / paraesthesia, pain, constriction or loss of elasticity, hardness, roughness, horripilation, blackish, brownish, slight reddish in colour 	Ghee
-.		Pitta dosha	Burning sensation, redness, exudation, suppuration, offensive smell, stickiness / moist and sloughing of body parts	Virechana (therapeutic purgation) raktamokshana (bloodletting)
-.		Kapha dosha	Whitish discolouration, cold in touch, pruritus, non-progressive/ slow progression of disease, elevated; heaviness and oiliness, stickiness, maggot infestation 	Vamana (therapeutic emesis)
-•	If all symptoms appear simultaneously, then the kushtha is untreatable. Similarly, immune-compromised patients and those suffering from morbid thirst, burning sensation, loss of digestive power and lesions have maggots then the prognosis is bad. Vata kapha dominant and single dosha predominated kushtha are easily curable. Whereas kapha pitta and vata pitta dominated kushtha are kricchra sadhya i.e. curable with difficulty.
-•	If the skin lesion is small, then prachchanna [bloodletting by rubbing with coarse device] should be done. If the skin lesions are large and spread all over body, siravyadha [ venesection] should be done for bloodletting.
-•	Frequent body purification procedures are needed in treatment of skin diseases. The treatment includes internal purification in the form of therapeutic emesis, purgation etc and external purification in the form of local applications of lepa of purifying herbs.
-•	Shwitra may be caused by meta-physical causes like sinful deeds and those in previous life.
-•	Therapeutic purgation is main principle of management in shwitra (vitiligo).
-•	  Exposure to sunlight is one of the treatments of shwitra.

-==== Six layers of skin ====
+==== 3. ''Mandala kushtha'' ====
-In the context of Kushtha, four aspects of skin are important. First is that it consists of six layers, and each layer is seat of specific type of gradually progressing kushtha.
+It is predominated by ''[[kapha dosha]]''. The ''sthira, snigdha [[guna]]'' brings about ''sthirata'' and ''snigdhata'' to the ''kushtha''.
-Following highlighted part should be in vidhi
-(1) First layer Udakadhara, external most layer is responsible for water metabolism. Initial pathology of minor types of kushtha  starts with excessive sweating/ discoloration/itching swelling/ altered tectile sense in prodromal stage of kushtha indicative of  impairment of water metabolism. This layer may be correlated with stratum corneum.
-(2) Second layer is Asragdhara, which contains the blood metabolites and impurities of blood trigger the pathology of kushtha and manifest as –bluish black, red, rashes/ pricking pains/ and ulceration. This layer may be correlated with stratum lucidum,
-(3) Third layer of skin is the seat of Sidhma and Kilas Kushtha. 3rd layer  may be correlated with stratum granulosum.
-(4) Fourth layer is seat of Dadru and Krushtha. 4th layer may be correlated with stratum germinosum (combination of spinosum and basale layers),
-(5) Fifth layer of skin is seat of makushtha and severe dermal pathologies.  5th layer may be correlated with Papillary layer.
-(6) Sixth layer is the seat of most severe mahakushtha, which are incurable. 6th layer may be compared with Reticular layer.                                                                        (Ch. Sharir 7/ 4)
-==== Patho-physiology of kushtha ====
+Therefore the lesion is granulomatous in presentation. The early and indeterminate leprosy , especially lepromatous leprosy, is a skin condition consisting of pale macules. It results from failure of Th1 cell activation which is necessary to eradicate the mycobacteria. In Lepromatous Leprosy Th2 response is turned on and because of reciprocal inhibition the cell mediated response is depressed.

-It is rūkṣa, paruṣa, khara in nature which signifies the increase of rūkṣa, khara guna at the level of skin. Roughness, dryness increases when there is destruction of sweat glands (dusti of ambu dhatu), decrease in essential fatty acids (reduce snigdhata of meda inturn kapha), proliferation of keratinocytes. Primary lesion manifest in the form of dry, rough and blackish brownish colour. Secondary lesion includes loss of sensation (due to degeneration of nerve endings or less nutrition to the nerve tissue due to atherosclerosis or reduce blood supply) severe pricking pain (nistōda) itching, burning sensation and pustular presentation. Thus conditions of non erythematous eczema, keratosis, atrophic actinic keratosis, non hypertrophic keratosis, seborrhic conditions can be understood in Kapāla Kuṣṭha.
+It is dominated by ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[pitta dosha]]''. ''[[Vata dosha]]'' brings roughness, pain whereas [[pitta]] is responsible for the discoloration, burning sensation whereas both the ''[[dosha]]'' are responsible for ''ashugati'' and ''samuthana''.

+Thus inflammatory and degenerative changes dominate the condition. Pathogenesis involving infectious origin or allergic origin may be included. Diseases such as Lyme disease may be included. Expanding redness known as ''erythema migrans'' begins at the site of bite after a period of one week. There is no much itching i.e. ''alpa kandu'' but the rash is red and warm but generally painless.
-It is pitta dominated kuṣṭha. Hyperpigmentation, increased vasocongestion, burning, pain and pus formation are the symptoms and signs.
+Classically the innermost portion remain darker red and becomes indurated (is thicker and firmer).
-Primary lesion manifest as red in colour associated with pus, burning sensation caused mainly due to pitta and rakta. Usna and tiksna guna is responsible for the same.
-Secondary lesion include kleda, kotha, body hair attains brownish colour, excessive secretion due to sasneha, sara and drava guna of pitta and rakta.
-Thus infective and inflammatory phase is being explained. Increased flow of inflammatory factors causes rise in temperature, redness and burning sensation. Eczema is inflammation of the skin. It is characterized by erythematous, vesicular, weeping, itchy and crusting patches. The condition is caused by dysfunctional interplay between the immune system and skin.

-Itis predominated by kapha dōṣa. The sthira, snigdha guna brings about sthirata and snigdhata to the Kuṣṭha. Therefore the lesion is granulomatous in presentation. The early and indeterminate leprosy especially Lepromatous leprosy is a skin condition consisting of pale macules. It results from failure of Th1 cell activation which is necessary to eradicate the mycobacteria. In Lepromatous Leprosy Th2 response is turned on and because of reciprocal inhibition the cell mediated response is depressed.
+Primary lesion manifest as ''rakta rāji sirā santata utsedavanti'' i.e. vessel are inflamed and are palpable. Systemic vasculitis may affect the skin and vascular damage may be the main feature in several skin diseases. The histological features that are common are:- Vessel wall damage , red cell extravasation, and invasion of inflammatory cells into vessel walls.
-===== 4. Rushyajivha kushtha =====

-It is dominated by vāta and pitta dōṣa. Vāta dōṣa brings roughness, pain whereas pitta is responsible for the discolouration, burning sensation whereas both the dōṣa are responsible for ashugati and samuthan.
+It is dominated by ''[[vata]] [[kapha]] [[dosha]]'', fine powder falls after scratching and resembles color similar to flower of ''alābū''. The specialty of disease is that it is mainly seen in ''urabhāga'' i.e. trunk. ''Tinea versicolar'' is a condition characterized by a skin eruption on the trunk and proximal extremity. The symptoms of this condition include; fine scaling of the skin producing a very superficial ash like scale. Pale (''sveta''), dark tan (''arun''), pink in color (''shukla rakta avabhasani'') with a reddish undertone (''tamra'') that can darken when the patient is overheated, such as in a hot shower or during/ after exercise, tanning typically makes the affected areas contrast more starkly with the surrounding skin leading to sharp borders. In people with dark skin tones, pigmentary changes such as hypo-pigmentation (loss of color) are common while in those with lighter skin color hyper-pigmentattion (increase in skin color) is more common. The yeast is thought to feed on skin oils (lipids) as well as dead skin cells.

+Squamous cell carcinoma or squamous cell cancer or epidermoid carcinoma or squamous cell epithelioma is a cancer of a kind of epithelial cell, the squamous cell. These cells are the main part of the epidermis of the skin, and this cancer is one of the major forms of the skin cancer. However, squamous cells also occur in the lining of the digestive tract, lungs and other areas of body and squamous cell carcinoma occurs as a form of cancer in diverse tissue such as lips, mouth, esophagus, urinary bladder, prostrate, lung, vagina and cervix. Despite sharing the name squamous cell carcinoma there may be tremendous differences in presenting symptoms, natural history, prognosis and response to treatment. It arises from the uncontrolled multiplication of cells of epithelium, or cells showing particular cytological or tissue architectural characteristic of squamous cell differentiation, such as the presence of keratin, tonofilament bundles or dermosomes structures involved in cell to cell adhesion. This non melanoma skin cancer may appear as a firm red nodule, a scaly growth that bleeds or develops a crust or a sore that does not heal.

 Anhidrosis can occur as an isolated condition or as part of a group of symptoms associated with other diseases. Anhidrosis can also occur after skin has been injured, because sweat glands are clogged or obstructed, as an inherited defect, or as a side effect of medication.
 Reduced sweating increases dryness of skin which is presented as rough, scaly or flaky skin. The word ichthyosis comes from ancient Greek where ichthys means fish. All types of ichthyosis have dry, thickened scaly or flaky skin.
-Ichthyosis vulgaris is a skin condition that causes dry, dead skin cells to accumulate in patches on the surface of skin. It is also known as “fish scale disease” because the dead skin accumulates in a similar pattern to a fish scale.

 Research shows that in diabetic patient thickness of skin is observed reason being collagen bundles become large, disorganized and separated by clear spaces. Small amount of acid mucopolysachrides may be present in upper reticular dermis. Presence of active fibroblast and extensive collagen polymerization in the rough endoplasisic reticulam may be the pathogenesis for thick skin.
-Calcium deposition may also be cause for tough and thick skin. Rūkṣata, kharata, guna of vāta and shita guna of vāta and kapha alongwith increase of guruta, manda and sthira guna of kapha contribute to thickening of skin. Khara is also property of asthi dhatu which is generated by interplay between prithvi, agni and vāyu. Here calcium is representative of prithvi mahabhut. So prithvi mahabhut bhuyista āhar or increased parthivagni can lead to increase absorption of calcium from gastrointestinal tract.

+Granulation tissue appearance is light red or dark pink in color (''śyāva''), being perfused with new capillary loops or buds granular in appearance. Formation of extracellular matrix gives it hard touch and abnormal productions of skin cells (especially during wound repair) leading to overabundance of skin cells. Premature maturation of keratinocytes induced by an inflammatory cascade in the dermis also contributes for the same.

-===== 4. Vaipadika kushtha =====
+==== 4. ''Vaipadika kushtha'' ====
 Skin fissure is a cutaneous condition in which there is a linear like cleavage of skin, sometimes defined as extending into the dermis. Skin dryness is the cause.
@@ Line 2,011: / Line 2,751: @@
 Healthy skin has slightly acidic pH, exposure to substances with an alkaline pH such as many commercial cleansers and hand soaps also contribute to interruptions of skin integrity. Once the skin integrity is disturbed, a homeostatic repair mechanism is stimulated that causes the rapid repair of barrier function. Continued exposure to alkaline substances will slow down repair by inhibiting normal skin acidity when there is continued exposure to unfavourable environmental factors.
 Anhidrosis, Dermatitis, Diabetic neuropathy, Eczema, Hypothyroidism, Psoriasis, cold weather, excessive exposure to hot water, detergent chemicals and low humidity can cause cracked skin.
-===== 4.Alasaka kushtha =====

+''Ganda'' here means nodular growth. Chronic and repetitive scratching, picking or rubbing may result in permanent changes to the skin, including nodular lichenification (''ganda''), hyperkeratosis, hyperpigmentation (''rāga'') and skin thickening.
+Nodular prurigo cause is unknown. It is uncertain whether scratching leads to lumps, or if the lumps appear before they are scratched. The reason for the lumps, the inflamation and the increased activity and size of nerves in the skin is under investigation but remains unknown.

 Prurigo nodularis, Hyde’s diseases, picker nodules, lichen corneus obtusus, nodular lichen simplex chronicus, nodular neurodematitis circumscripta are various synonyms. The constant scratching leads to development of discrete, excoriated nodular hyperpigmented / purpuric lesion with crusted or scaly surfaces.
-The wart like plaque may be observed in Dermatosis neglecta; an skin condition in which accumulation of sebum, keratin, sweat, dirt and debris lead to localized patch of skin. Dryness is the main cause for the above pathogenesis and role of vāta and kapha in causing dryness is already been discussed.

-It is cause by kapha dominated condition. Kapha by its snigdha, guru, mridu and sita guna when increased above normal condition it leads to obstructive changes at the integumentary system. Reduced blood supply causes blackish brown discolouration. Further obstructive changes reduce the local immunity and give a chance for dermatophytes to penetrate the skin barrier. It results in eruptions and thereby causing excessive exudation. Secondary infection and reduced blood supply is cause for pruritus. It can be compared with wet eczema.
