Hello, It sounds like your daughter is dealing with a significant amount of discomfort. In Ayurveda, skin conditions characterized by a “burning” appearance, redness, and itching (bitter lashes) are typically classified as Vicharchika (Eczema), often driven by an imbalance of Pitta (heat) and Kapha (moisture/itching) in the blood (Raktha). Since the skin looks “burned,” the primary goal is to cool the inflammation and detoxify the blood. Ayurvedic Perspective The burning sensation and redness indicate high Pitta. The pimples appearing after rubbing suggest Kapha and fluid accumulation. Blood purification (Rakthaprasadana) and topical cooling. Ayurveda Medicines 1. Maha Thikthaka Ghritam Purpose: The “gold standard” for skin diseases with burning and inflammation. It purifies blood from within. Dose: 1 teaspoon with warm water on an empty stomach twice daily. 2. Manjishtadi Kwath Purpose: A potent blood purifier that helps clear rashes and reduces the frequency of “pimples.” Dose: 15ml liquid mixed with 45ml lukewarm water, twice daily before food. 3. Psoria Oil for external use Purpose: Despite the name, it is excellent for all inflammatory skin conditions. It contains Wrightia tinctoria which soothes “burned” looking skin. Application: Apply gently over the arm 30 minutes before bath. Do not scrub. 4. Eladi Kerathailam Purpose: A coconut-oil based formula that treats itching (the “bitter” feeling) and prevents secondary infections from rubbing. Application: Apply after bath to keep the skin hydrated and cool. Use a green gram (moong dal) powder paste instead of soap on her arm to avoid further irritation. Wash the area with water boiled with Neem leaves and cooled to room temperature. Avoid sour, salty, and spicy foods (like pickles or citrus) for a few weeks, as these increase Pitta and worsen the “burned” look.
