Abstract
Background: Skin diseases are one among the most common health problems worldwide. The burden of skin disease adversely affects the person’s psyche and social interactions apart from the physical difficulties caused by the disease. Mukhadushika, which can be clinically correlated with acne vulgaris is a common condition seen among the youth. Method: A female patient aged 21 came to our institute with the complaint of skin lesions over her face from past 6 months along with occasional occurrence of pustules. The patient was treated with shamana aushadis on opd level. Result: After two months of treatment, it was noted that there were remarkable changes in the lesions such as reduction in the number of active acnes, acne scars and spots, reduction in the hyperpigmentation over acne spots. Conclusion: The treatment with shamana aushadhis were effective in the management of mukhadushika. In this case study, effect of shamana aushadhis such as Arogya vardhini, Gandhak rasayana, Manjishtadi kwatha, etc are evaluated.
