<p style="text-align:justify;">This chapter deals with diagnosis of skin disease termed as Kushtha. The disease has variable manifestations on skin depending upon degree of involvement of three vitiated [[dosha]] and their effect on four vitiated factors i.e. [[rasa]], [[rakta]], [[mamsa]] and lasika (lymphatic system). On the basis of clinical manifestations and severity, kushtha is classified into seven major types, eleven minor types or innumerable types due to the permutation and combination of [[dosha]] predominance and involvement of particular quality of a [[dhatu]] and accretion of [[dosha]] at different sites. The etiopathology, prodromal symptoms (purvarupa), symptomatology of seven major types of kushtha (maha-kushtha), their [[dosha]] predominance, prognosis, complications and significance of early treatment are described in this chapter. <br/>
