Brief Summary   Discontinuation of skin and its underlying tissues is Vrana, scar of which remains lifelong until death. Longstanding Vrana is known as Dushta Vrana. Dushta Vrana is a common and often encountered problem faced in surgical practice. The presence of DushtaVrana worsens the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal. Local factors on wound like slough, infection and foreign body, affect the normal process of healing. Therefore, in the present concept all efforts are directed to keep the wound clean during the various stages of its healing. Good wound healing with minimal scar formation with least pain effectively is the prime motto of every surgeon.
The management of Vrana and Dushta Vrana with the help of 60 Upakrama have been enumerated. Among these, application of Vikeshika has been mentioned for both Vrana Shodhana and Vrana Ropana karma. Lot of references are available on use of Purana madhu & Gritha used as Vrana Shodaka and Vrana Ropaka. Sushruta mentions 13 types of Vrana Bandhana for healing purpose in different forms like Vikeshika, Kavalika, Plota, Pichu,etc. But these techniques are not widely used in clinical practice, hence there is lot of scope for research.
The conventional method of applying Lepa / Kalka / Taila / any other topical applications, though effective yet is quite lengthy and process requiring lot of time and is tedious, also there is lot of drug wastage seen usually with insufficient contact time provided.
Hence, keeping these into consideration, this study is undertaken due to its accessibility and easier application with an intention to explore the effect of Vikesika prepared with Malahara using Madhu-Sarpi in management of Dushta Vrana which will be an innovative contribution in Ayurvedic dressing method.
