In Madhavkosha commentary, Kartik acharya has described the differentiation between Indralupta, Khalitya and Ruhya first time. Ayurveda stresses on the role of Pitta and Vata in the production of Khalitya. This disease may occur either independently or as a symptom of morbid Asthidhatu. Most of author of Ayurvedic texts described Khalitya under kshudra roga. In modern view Khalitya could be correlate with Alopecia and it is more common in man than women.
