Ayurveda has a deep and all-encompassing understanding of life and health as a science. Over the course of many years, Ayurveda various branches have developed, with the primary focus being on disease prevention and treatment. There are a few illnesses known as Kshudra-Roga that have straightforward pathologies but are challenging to treat.
Foot corn can be correlated with Kadara in Ayurveda, and it is one among the 44 Kshudra Rogas mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. Kshudra means little, diminutive or tiny means they are less severe when compared to Mahavyadhi. Acharya Bhoj describes it as Mamsakeela. Its form is identical to Koalmatra's. The pathophysiology of these conditions is caused by the vitiation of Meda and Rakta Dhatu and the dosha of Kapha and Vata. It is localized because the affected skin develops hyperkeratosis on the tips of the toes, the sole, and the inter phalangeal joints as a result of thorn puncture, continual friction, individual susceptibility, and other factors.
Corn in western medical literature exhibit striking similarities in their presentations. Salicylic acid treatment, corn caps, and invasive techniques such as laser, chemical, electric, and cryotherapy cauterization, as well as surgical excision, are used in the management of corn. However, there is a greater probability of recurrence and the results of these operations are not good. However, the after effects of corn surgery are promising due to its recurrence and wound healing.
Agnikarma (Cauterisation) is the best treatment for the Kadara. This present Case report describes a case of Kadara (Foot corn) diagnosed as per clinical features and managed successfully by Agnikarma.
