It is a plaque of hyperkeratosis caused by repeated friction or pressure. It is assumed that frictional forces include hyperkeratosis leading to thickening of stratum comeum of the skin over certain areas prone to mechanical stresses. Kadai•a as described by the Samhitas, can be closely related to lesions of the skin caused by hyperkeratosis. Kadara has been enumerated and described in classical literature under the heading of Kshudra Roga. ,4gni Karma has been mentioned for the proper management of Kadara.

The data collected in regard with pain and hardness, when compared before treatment and after treatment yielded the following results. According to symptoms, pain and hardness observed before the treatment, that is 100%. But after treatment, complete cure was observed in above symptoms. Based on the study, it was observed that Pippali can be used o create superficial burns only. It was further observed that the area of lesion eventually dried and peeled off along with the Kadara tissue within about 14 days. The extent of tissue destruction due to burning with Pippali is very minimal. Hence, it was to be effective for treating superficial Kadara lesions.
