The doshas involved are Kapha pitta, signs and symptoms are sphota (several eruptions which are either white or reddish in appearance). Tanutwak (eruptions are specifically thin walled).

      Sphota can be compared to superficial folliculitis. It is a very common disorder and is characterized by peri-follicular pustules.

      Culture of pustular contents often fails to identify a bacterial pathogen, but of the infectious etiologies, staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen. Perifollicular pustules usually arise on an erythematous base and the pustules may be pierced by a hair. Slight itching and burning sensation may accompany, the scalp and extremities are common sites of involvement.     Pseudofolliculitis results from beard or body hairs that become ingrown and is seen in individuals with highly curved and tough hairs. The resultant pustular eruption is not primarily an infection, but rather a foreign body inflammatory reaction.
