A 63-year-old male patient presented with a burn wound at the anteromedial aspect of the right leg with a history of accidental spilling of boiling hot water before 2 days. The patient applied toothpaste at the site immediately after the burn and the entire skin got peeled off. The presenting complaints were completely peeled off skin with redness, pain and burning sensation at the burn site. There was no formation of blisters. The patient approached Dr Sateesh varier who made the biomedical diagnosis as superficial second-degree burn based on the clinical presentation and examination. The ayurvedic diagnosis was Shuddha vrana and the line of treatment adopted was Vrana ropana. The redness disappeared and healthy skin re-growth started within 1 week of treatment. After 2 weeks of treatment, the wound completely healed without any scar. In a further follow-up after 2 weeks, the skin regained its normal colour.
