Variation in single dosha cannot cause kushtha. In the kushtha with similar presentations also, the clinical features of kushtha in terms of sensation in skin, colour, site of skin lesion, other symptoms, and treatment may vary depending on the variation in vitiation of (qualities of) dosha. Therefore there are seven or eighteen or innumerable types of kushtha. The variations in qualities of vitiated dosha lead to further differentiation in types of diseases, except in incurable conditions. As there might be innumerable types of kushtha leading to expansion of text, only seven types of kushtha are described here. [4]
