Abstract

All ages from neonates to elderly persons suffer from skin disorders. The pathophysiology and management of skin disorders are explained in Ayurveda as Raktavahasrotodushtijanya vikara. Bullous pemphigoid is a rare, potentially fatal autoimmune blistering disease in which the immune system produces antibodies to the fibers that connect the epidermis and the dermis of the skin. In Ayurveda this manifestation has close resemblance with Visphota. A case of 54-year-old female who came with the complaints of multiple blisters (some are ruptured) with clear fluid over both upper and lower extremities associated with itching and some ruptured blisters causing reddish black lesions associated with burning sensation for 20 days. The patient was treated according to the Ayurvedic principle with Shodhana and Shamana therapy followed by Pathya-apathya and got relief with appreciable changes in symptoms.
