'''<big> Abstract'''</big>
[[Kushtha Chikitsa]] is a compendium of various skin diseases, divided into two groups i.e. major (''maha kushtha'') and ii. minor (''kshudra kushtha''). Seven types of major and eleven types of minor skin disorders or dermatosis are described here as guidelines to understand diagnosis and treatment principles of various skin disorders. Etiological factors including antagonistic food, suppression of natural urges especially vomiting, quick change in temperature, exposure to excess heat, and sudden biological changes in fluid volume and muscle mass cause ''kushtha''. Clinical features of skin disorders, their diagnosis according to dominance of ''dosha'' as well as their prognosis and treatment is described in detail. [[Panchakarma]] (five body purification procedures) are emphasized for management of skin diseases and prevention of recurrence. Local scrapping method for bloodletting in smaller lesions and venesection for large lesions, therapeutic purgation are important treatment measures in ''kushtha''. Medicinal preparations including ghee, formulations for internal administration and external application on skin lesions are described.
