On the fourth day, procedures like nasal medication (nasya) should be administered, and on the fifth day, the bandage should be completely removed. When the eyelid becomes smooth and even, resembles the smooth surface of a fingernail in appearance, and is completely relieved of swelling (shopha), itching (kandū), friction (gharṣa), and other distressing symptoms, it should be recognized as properly scraped (sulikhita).

If the opposite features persist, scraping should be performed once again. On the other hand, excessive scraping (atilekhana) leads to severe pain (ruk), weakness or falling of eyelash hairs (pakṣma-sadana), weakness of the eyelid, and drooping (sraṁsana) of the eyelid.
