Abstract
Burn injuries are one of the most devastating injuries encountered in medicine. Burn can be defined as tissue damage caused by a variety of agents such as heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight, or nuclear radiation. Estimated annual burn incidence in India is 6-7 million per year Loss of skin with all its protective and homeostatic functions exposes the body to variety of stresses which are not seen in any other type of injury except burn injury. The topical anti-microbial agents are of at peek importance in this regard.
The Vrana more than a week called Dushta Vrana which fail to heal for a long period and result into chronic wound (Dheergha, Kalanubandhi Dushta Vrana), such Vrana needs Shodhana (Abhyantara) and Ropana (Bahya) Chikitsa. Administration of Mrudu Virechana and local application of Dagdhahar Malahar can be the best line of management for Tridoshaja Dushta Vrana. A case report of 33 years old men, who was presented with complaints of an open chronic burn wound on the anterior aspect of the right foreleg associated with pain, discharge(slough), foul smell, edema and discoloration of the skin has been presented here. In this case Dagdhahar Malahar is applied locally twice daily and Phaltrikadi Qwath is administered internally twice daily after each meal for consecutive 21 days and the changes in the objective and subjective parameters were observed. Results showed that Dagdhahar Malahar and Phaltrikadi Qwath are effective in the management of burn wounds.
