Hello I totally get your point. Managing acne marks, thin hair, and a flaky and irritated scalp can be a real pain, especially if you already have hypothyroidism.
But, with a combined internal and external Ayurvedic approach, skin and hair can get healthy again and gradually show positive results.
YOUR CONCERN
You are going through: Post-acne marks (post-acne pigmentation) Hair thinning even with sufficient protein intake Flaky and irritated scalp Hypothyroidism (on treatment) Trigger: Changes in weather
According to Ayurveda, this points to a mixture of: Pitta imbalance → acne marks, pigmentation, scalp irritation Vata imbalance + Dhatu kshaya → thin hair, dryness Agni disturbance (even with good diet) → poor tissue nourishment
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
1. INTERNAL MEDICATION (For skin clarity, hair strengthening & scalp balance)
1. Amalaki Rasayan – 1 tsp every morning with lukewarm water (Makes the skin glow, lightens pigmentation, and helps hair growth)
2. Bhringaraj Capsule – 1 capsule twice daily after food (Strengthens hair roots and improves the condition of the scalp)
3. Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (Strengthens the digestive system and detoxifies blood—very important for acne control)
4. Guduchi Satva – 1 tsp twice daily (A very good blood purifier and reduces the inflammatory face area acne)
👉 These medicines are good together with the thyroid medicine but do not forget to keep a 1-2 hour gap.
A visible result will appear after about 8–12 weeks.
2. EXTERNAL CARE
🌿 For Acne Marks (Face Care) Use Kumkumadi Taila Twice or thrice a day, 2–3 drops Light and gentle rubbing, leave overnight Wash with water the next day
➡️ Great through the lightening of acne marks, the skin texture getting even, and the face glowing.
🌿 For Thin Hair & Flaky Scalp
Oiling (2–3 times/week): Neelibhringadi Taila or Bhringaraj Taila should be the oil of your choice Massage gently for 10 minutes Leave for 30–60 minutes (or overnight if dandruff is dry) Wash with a mild herbal shampoo
If the flakes are heavy: Mix a few drops of oil with aloe vera gel and apply to the scalp once a week.
DIET RECOMMENDATIONS
✅ INCLUDE
Amla, pomegranate Green leafy vegetables Moong dal, sprouts Flaxseeds or soaked black sesame (1 tsp/day) Sufficient warm water
❌ AVOID
Too much sugar and refined carbs Fried, spicy, and oily foods Too much dairy (especially at night) Cold drinks
LIFESTYLE & SCALP CARE TIPS
Do not wash your hair with hot water Don’t scratch your scalp Avoid chemical hair products Sleep before 10:30 pm Practice Anulom Vilom and Sheetali Pranayama daily Gently cleanse your face twice a day—and do not use harsh scrubs
INVESTIGATIONS TO REVIEW (if not done recently)
TSH (to check if the thyroid is well controlled) Vitamin B12 Vitamin D3 Hemoglobin
The low levels of these can strongly contribute to hair thinning and delayed skin healing.
WHAT TO EXPECT
– Acne marks should gradually fade away in 6–8 weeks – Scalp irritation and flakes will be reduced in 3–4 weeks – Hair thickness and strength will get better within 3 months
Consistency is the key
