1. Gandhak Rasayan Dosage: 2 tablets twice daily. Time: After meals with warm water. 2. Mahamanjisthadi Kwath Dosage: 15 ml mixed with 15 ml of warm water. Time: Twice daily, after meals. ✓External Therapy Stop All Creams & Moisturizers: You must starve the fungus of moisture. Keep the affected areas on your face completely dry. Neem & Triphala Wash: Boil 1 tablespoon of Triphala powder and a handful of fresh or dried Neem leaves in 2 glasses of water until it reduces to half. Strain it, let it cool, and use this medicinal water to wash your face 2-3 times a day. Triphala is highly astringent (drying) and Neem is intensely antibacterial. ✓Dietary Correction You cannot cure a fungal skin infection if your diet is feeding it. Strictly avoid all fermented foods, yogurt (curd), excessive salt, sour fruits and refined sugar. These create a damp-heat (Pitta-Kapha) environment in the gut, which fuels fungal overgrowth. Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

hello thank you for contacting ask ayurveda may i know your age and sex what is your profession how do you know that you have fungal and bacterial in face what medication you took any medical issues – hypothyroid for skin related issue i recommend panchakarma therapy initially you have to undergo detoxification and rejuvenation therapy for this ayurveda will be helpful . it can be done in any good ayurvedic centre. but before pachakarma you need to cleanse your gut (digestive system) it has two stages:- 1] deepana therapy :- it refers to medications that ignite agni , the metabolic fire ( appetitie simulator ) without necessarily digesting ama. 2]pachana therpay :- digestions—it focus on the digestion of ama. deepana and pachana plays a significant role in the treatment of various aliments while enhancing digestive juices ( agni). it governs metabolic processes, digestion and the bodys overall functionality . now panchakarma therapy it’s a therapy in ayurveda for detoxification and rejuvenation. it is used to remove toxins (ama) from the body and to restore balance to the three doshas in our body ( vata , pitta ,kapha) it is divided into three stages 1]purva karma >> snehana karma :- internal and external administration of medicated oil or ghee, internal :- this are ingested over a period of days to lubricate the tissues and cells all over the body . this helps to loosen the toxins and make ready for evacuation. external: massage with medicated oil to whole body to enhance absorbation through the skin and further loosen the malas >> swedana karma:- after snehna to release the mala from the body , inducing sweating from body by steam bath 2]pradhan karma :- >> vamana :- it is the therapy in which a person is induced controlled vomitings using medicated drugs under observation. this helps in removing excess kapha from the gastro intestinal tract and respiratory system. >> virechana:- it is the therapy in which a person is induced to pass controlled multiple stools through medicated drugs under observation. it cleanses the lower gastro intestinal tract, liver and gall bladder. after panchkarma you have to take medicines later diet and life style modification moisturize your skin regularly take proper sun exposure consume gluten free food follow a low carb diet eat anti inflammatory food, green vegetables , nuts eat omega -3 rich foods be gentle with your skin avoid harsh soap and cleansers reduce intake of meat reduce intake of sugar and vegetable oils avoid hot and humid weather dont use bleach and fabric softners for laundry avoid taking stress

Namaste, Your concern — persistent fungal or bacterial infection on the face not responding well to creams or pills — indicates underlying skin imbalance with pitta-kapha involvement and possibly reduced skin immunity. The focus should be on reducing infection, controlling inflammation, and improving skin resistance gently. Avoid oily, spicy, sugary, and processed foods, as they can worsen skin infections. Keep the face clean and dry. Avoid heavy creams and makeup. Do not touch or scratch the affected area. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet, twice daily after food (if digestion is good) Neem Tablets – 1 tablet, twice daily after food Avipattikar Churna – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water External care: Apply neem paste (neem powder + water) on affected area once daily You can also use a paste of turmeric + sandalwood powder with rose water, 2–3 times a week These are traditionally used to reduce infection, purify the skin, and control inflammation when combined with proper care. Avoid mixing too many products on the skin. If lesions are spreading rapidly or not improving, proper clinical examination is important to confirm whether it is fungal or bacterial, as treatment may differ. Improvement can be seen gradually over a few weeks with consistent care. Consultation can help tailor this further to your needs.
