The condition may affect the patient with or without pain, itching etc. Wart can became a stressful cosmetic problem. The references of <em>Charmakeela </em>in <em>Kshudraroga adhikara </em>in the <em>Ayurvedic </em>classics have a very close clinical proximity with warts. <em>Kshara </em>is one among the treatment choice for <em>Charmakeela </em>and used in <em>Pratisaraneeya kshara</em> form. Subcutaneous intralesional injection is one among the upgraded modalities of <em>Pratisaraneeya ksharakarma. Kshara</em> used as <em>Ksharodhaka</em> for this procedure. A 24 years old female patient with a common wart over the thumb visited the <em>Salyatantra</em> OPD, Govt. Ayurveda College Hospital Tripuithura in June 2019. The lesion was painless and without itching and was developed within a period of one month. The patient was undertaken for subcutaneous intralesional injection of <em>Aragwadha ksharodhaka </em>following proper lab investigations. The patient did not developed any adverse reactions or pain during the procedure. It was observed that, the wart shed off within a period of 7 days. There was no visible ulceration over the site of wart and healing happened leaving a minimum scar. Also there was visible healthy skin formation.</p>}, number={5}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Anupama Devasia and M.M Abdul Shukkoor}, year={2020}, month={Nov.}, pages={2944-2949} }
