Abstract :

Vitiligo is one of the stigmatizing dermatological disorders found with a worldwide preponderance. It is a condition in which white patches develop on the skin caused mainly by the loss of melanin pigment in the skin. It can affect any area of the skin and causes discolouration and ugliness. It causes cosmetic imbalance body which ultimately leads to many socialized psychological stigma in life of the patient. yurveda has incorporated this condition into the broad heading of Shwitra or Kilsa which is described under the term called Kushtha (dermatosis). Here, an attempt has been made to compile the knowledge of ancient yurvedic science so as to present it systematically and critically analyze the yurvedic concept and management of Shwitra (Vitiligo).
