It is caused by ''kapha'' dominated condition. ''Kapha'' by its ''snigdha, guru, mridu'' and ''sheeta guna'' when increased above normal condition it leads to obstructive changes at the integumentary system.

It results in eruptions and thereby causing excessive exudation. Secondary infection and reduced blood supply is cause for pruritus. It can be compared with wet eczema.
