Inflammatory lesions, boils, pustules, etc. are considered due to pitta and 

Leisions with thick exudation or swelling or nodule are considered to be of excessasive kapha dosha

Skin lesions with pain are considered to be because of vata and burning sensation is due to pitta and leision with excessive itching are regarded as a vitiation of kapha.

The etiology of the disease, the association of dosha and the involvement of  the tissues (dhatus) and the type of association has to be understood for a proper treatment. Certain therapies that break the association of doshas and dhatus and abstaining from the triggering factors are important while managing skin disorders.
