As we know every two in five persons suffer from Kadara once in their lifetime and people do not consider this seriously until and unless it starts abruption their daily activities and then reach a doctor when it needs to be seriously considered with the provoked signs and symptoms.[1] Acharya Sushruta describes Kadara under Kshudra roga and its ayurvedic approach of Ksharakarma, Agnikarma, Shastra karma,Lepana karma.[2] Amongst which Agnikarma is the most practiced karma amongst all the karmas due to its less chances to recur.[3] Aim: To evaluate the effect of Tamra Shalaka Agnikarma in the management of Kadara. Material & Method: 30 subject's data was recorded in the case report form with complete history, examination and necessary assessment was done. Afterwards the subjects of Kadara were treated with Tamra Shalaka Agnikarma followed by proper post operative care and regular follow ups of the patients were done until the signs of healthy granulation was observed. Results: The results typically involve the removal of the corn, relieving pain, swelling, tenderness, discharge and discomfort associated with it. The area was initially tender or sore after the procedure, but with proper post-operative instructions care of the patients were taken and follow ups to ensure proper healing and prevent the recurrence of corn over time. Interpretation and Conclusion: From all the available treatment modalities of Kadara, it is clear that it may not have a complete cure, as a chance of recurrence may be there. Comparing all treatment procedures, Agnikarma can be considered the most appropriate management of Kadara (corn). It has a significant result, and the chance of recurrence is significantly lower.
