Warts, also known as verruca, are among the most frequent viral diseases seen in primary care, affecting 7% to 10% of the population. They are little benign growths produced by the Human Papilloma virus (HPV), a member of the papova virus family. They are inconvenient for both patients and physicians since therapy is sometimes time-consuming and lengthy. Warts are a disease that has tormented humans since antiquity. Warts induce ugliness by forming on places that cause loss of attractiveness, such as the face, neck, and hands. Depression can be caused by cosmetic values. Acharya Sushruta has dedicated a chapter on Kshudra Rogas, in which he explains 44 of them, including Charmakeela(~Warts). Ayurveda explains several therapy ideas, like as Ksharakarma, Chedana and Agnikarma. These indigenous therapy approaches are minimally intrusive and have been shown to be more effective. Acharya Susruta has cited. Kshara Karma is a unique process employed since ancient times that is superior to Shastra and Anushastra owing to its comprehensive multifaceted effects such as Chedana, Bhedana, and Lekhana karma. Charmakeela(~Warts) is said to be efficiently treated with Kshara Karma because Ksharalepa(~local application of Kshara) performs activities such as Chedana, Bedhana, and Lekhana. Charmakeela is caused by a vitiated Vyana Vayu and Kapha Dosa. Kshara pacifies the Vata and Kapha Doshas, which are required for Charmakeela's(~Warts) Samprapti Vighatana. Kshara lepa is a low-cost and easily available medication that may be used to manage such skin lesions. When compared to current therapy, there is a need to identify a medicine that is readily available year-round, less irritating, similarly safe, and cost effective in the treatment of warts. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria for either gender will be selected at random based on their history, symptoms, and clinical examination. Following diagnosis, 40 Charmakeela(~Warts) patients are randomly assigned to two groups: Group A and Group B, each with 20 cases . The group's characteristics will be observed before and after therapy. Kshara lepa is administered for a minimum of one day and a maximum of seven days, depending on the lesion. Follow-up will be done once weekly for three weeks. Chitraka kshara lepa results shows slightly better actions on removing warts than Apamarga kshara lepa.
