Signs and symptoms1
When it ripens and bursts, a discharge like honey, fat or ghee flows; then vata increases, quickly dries the flesh and forms knotted, hard, dry nodules as fine as sand, and foul-smelling, moist blood flows constantly from the vessels.
How it develops1
Aggravated kapha and vata vitiate fat, flesh, vessels, skin and the whole network of ligaments and produce a very hard nodule.
