Modern point of view ''visarpa'' is generally caused by a variety of infections. As per Punarvasu Atreya, the general etiological factors of ''visarpa'' are diet and lifestyle, injury, poisons, toxins, burns etc; some of these cause vitiation of ''dosha'' and ''khavaigunya'' (disease prone condition) in ''dhatu'' and some cause direct vitiation of ''dosha'' and ''dhatu'' leading to ''visarpa''. This is confusing to the new scholars. Atreya's understanding of etiology is more specific because favorable condition for infection occurs at first then infection therefore diet and lifestyle related factors are described in detail and in the beginning. In treatment plan this concept of favorable environment should be considered. Change in internal body environment is possible by ''shodhana'' therapy and ''aushadha'' along with treatment of infection.

==== Common clinical conditions considered under visarpa ====
Visarpa is acute and extensive spreading in nature. As kustha is chronic in nature and visarpa is acute therefore spreading kustha should not be interpreted as visarpa. It is observed that Visarpa interpretation to allopath disorders is very confusing to the scholars. It is difficult to label Visarpa as a single entity. For proper interpretation, experienced intelligent expert in emergency treatments is required and diagnostic research in this direction is challenge to the researchers.
