Brief Summary   In Ayurvedic texts, all skin diseases were included under the term ’Kushtharoga’ which is classified into two main divisions i.e., Mahakushtha and Kshudrakushtha. Vicharchika is a type of kshudra kushtha often encountered by Ayurvedic dermatologists characterised  with symptoms namely Kandu, Srava, Pidika. The clinical presentations of Vicharchika is similar to eczema  in modern dermatology. Eczema also called atopic dermatitis is characterized by dry itchy skin with the areas of poorly demercated erythema and scale. In the acute phase eczema may be vesicular and oozing, in the chronic phase it may become hyper pigmented and lichenified (thickened). Excoriations (scratch marks) are frequently seen.
