    ABSTRACT

    Background: The most typical dermatologic disorders worldwide include tinea infections. Skin ringworm infections, such as tinea corporis and tinea cruris, are caused by Trichophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum canis. These are the main dermatophytes responsible for tinea. Red, scaly, itchy, and growing lesions should be tinea. It is most seen in males compared to females. All skin illnesses are categorized in Ayurveda as Kushta Roga (skin diseases), while Dadru Kushta (tinea) has a connection to the diseases caused by fungi. The illness has aggravated Pitta and Kapha dosha. The line of treatments for these illnesses includes palliative, purificatory intervention, and peripheral biocleansing procedures. However, in this case, we utilize palliative, mild laxative, and peripheral biocleansing procedures. Here, mild laxatives act as purificatory therapy to treat the illness. Purpose: To study the effect of Ayurvedic intervention in the management of tinea (Dadru). Methods: In this case report, a 41-year-old male patient receives Ayurveda treatment after 2 months of experiencing relief from ring-like patches, discoloration, and itching in the groin, upper back, and upper and lower thighs. He is diagnosed by presenting clinical symptoms, and pathological examination is the specific tool for diagnosis of fungal infection. Results: Significant improvements were seen in the parameters, including increased circular skin lesions, eruptions, erythema, and itching. He experienced 70% relief. Conclusion: Treated with the Ayurveda line of treatment is the best tinea infection treatment.
