Vicharchika is a Kshudra Kushtha described in Ayurveda, predominantly involving Kapha-Pitta Dosha with Rakta and Twak Dushti. It commonly presents with Kandu (itching), Shyava Varna (hyperpigmentation), Rukshata (dryness), Twak Vaivarnya (discoloration), and Shotha (swelling). This case study presents the successful management of a chronic case of Vicharchika affecting the lower limb using Khadiradi Vati, Mahamanjishthadi Kwatha, Arogyavardhini Vati, and local application of Marichyadi Taila.
