description Introduction: Fungal infections are the most common infection of skin in India. Recurrence and relapse are very common. Incomplete treatment and use of steroid is responsible for resistant Tinea incognito. Main Clinical Finding: A female patient of 23-year-old had erythematous papulo-vesicular lesions over the right underarm and inguinal region from the last 1 year. History of temporary relief due to modern medicine with relapse was observed. Striae marks were evident over thighs indicating skin atrophy. Diagnosis: Patient was diagnosed with Tinea incognito (Ayurvedic diagnosis Dadru with Dooshivisha as a causative factor). Interventions: Patient was successfully managed with Dooshivishahara and Rakta Prasadak Chikitsa. Outcome: Improvement was evident after 3 weeks of therapy. No recurrence was reported till date. Conclusions: Ayurvedic approach to Tinea incognito not only helps to reduce relapse and recurrence but also physical discomfort and financial burden on patient.
