In
Ayurveda, eczema is known as 'vicharchika'. Typically,
eczema is of two types - acute and chronic. The most common form
of eczema is of course chronic. The major symptoms of eczema
include oozing, itching and exfoliation of skin area.
According to Ayurvedic study, it can result from
disturbances of all doshas. The most significant role
is, however, played by disturbed pitta and contaminated
blood condition. Both of these two factors deteriorate the quality
of skin and mamsa and cause eczema. On the other hand,
vata and kapha may participate in the pathogenesis in order to
produce other symptoms related to eczema.
Each of these three doshas or humors may contribute
to the development of unique eczema condition. In the vata type,
the skin area becomes very dry with a severe pain and itching.

fever are quite common in the case of pitta type. In kapha type,
the skin becomes white and thicker than usual in addition to
oozing and itching.
