ABSTRACT

Skin disorders can affect children’s self-esteem, relationships with caregivers and peers, and performance in school and activities. School-aged children with port wine stains, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis report increased bullying, teasing, and social isolation. Vitiligo is the most widely known pigmentation disorder, It is characterized by the absence of pigment in the skin, secondary to the loss of melanocytes. It causes disfigurement and serious disturbances in quality of life. It is harmless but a very serious cosmetic problem which affects the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of the affected person. The skin diseases in Ayurveda come under the category of Kushtha. Ayurveda explains Kilasa/Shwitra (~vitiligo) as a type of Kushtha roga. It is caused by disturbance of all Tridosha along with Rakta, Mamsa, and Meda Dhatu. A drug Which having Raktaprasadaka (improves the quality of blood), Raktashodhana (blood purification), and Tridoshahara (balances three regulatory functional factors of the body), Kushtaghna, was found to be effective in the restoration of skin color.
