This chapter deals with detailed description of etiopathogenesis, classification and management principles of ''visarpa''. This is acute disease with a quick spread involving mainly skin, blood, lymph and muscle tissue due to vitiation of all three ''dosha''. Disease is clinically presented in three pathways viz. external, internal and both. Based on the involvement of dominant ''dosha'', it is classified into seven types. Prognosis and treatment duration of disease is proportionate to degree of involvement of ''dosha'' and affected internal organs. As the basic nature of disease is ''rakta'' and ''pitta'' dominant, management is focused on body purification treatments especially therapeutic purgation, blood letting, fasting therapy, medicated ghee, use of bitter drugs and various external applications having soothing and cooling effect. Guidelines for external application in the form of ''pralepa, pradeha'' and ''alepa'' are enlisted in the chapter. Blood letting is emphasized as most important treatment in ''visarpa''.
