Atopic dermatitis, which is also called as Eczema is a type of response pattern characterised by a range of histologic and clinical characteristics including Papules, erythematous macules and vesicles. This affects a person's cosmetic appearance, which is equally distressing since it creates disfigurement. Vicharchika, one of Kshudra Roga can be compared to Atopic Dermatitis based on its signs and symptoms. In the present case study, a 55 years old female patient was admitted in the IPD section of Department of Swasthavritta, Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research Hospital, Bengaluru with the complaints of Skin lesions over both the forearms and neck associated with blackish brown discolouration, severs itching, mild discharge and reduced sleep since 2 years.
