In the context of ''kushtha'', [[Ayurveda]] acknowledges that the human skin consists of six layers, and each layer is seat of specific type of gradually progressing ''kushtha'':
#First layer ''udakadhara'', external most layer is responsible for water metabolism. Initial pathology of minor types of ''kushtha'' starts with excessive sweating/ discoloration/itching swelling/ altered tactile sense in prodromal stage of ''kushtha'' indicative of impairment of water metabolism. This layer may be correlated with stratum corneum.
