As the increasing population is much concerned about beauty, so several cosmetic products are also increasing in the market. Switrais not only a pathological but also a very serious sociological problem. It can be compared with vitiligo in contemporary science having a prevalence of 0.25% in India. In Ayurveda, it is explained along with kustha roga1, but it is not explained under Mahakustha & kshudrakustha. In a conventional system of medicine, there is no perfect aetiology and treatment for vitiligo. But in Ayurveda, many lines of treatment are explained like shodhana & shamanaas.
