Vijay Maruti Deshmukh and Ardra Thorat

Warts are common cutaneous lesions affecting people worldwide. The estimated prevalence of warts is between 7% and 12% of the population, with the incidence among school-age children ranging from 10% to 20%. Immunocompromised individuals and meat handlers also show a higher frequency of occurrence [1]. Both men and women are equally affected. In Ayurvedic classics, Charmakila is described under Kshudra Rogas and is considered analogous to viral warts. Although many modern treatments exist such as salicylic acid, cantharidin, laser surgery, and Cryotherapy they often have high recurrence rates. This case study highlights the Ayurvedic management of Charmakila using Agnikarma (thermal cauterization), Lekhana, and Ropana Dravya application, demonstrating effective results with minimal recurrence.
