Your condition looks like Vicharchika (wet eczema) in Ayurveda, where there is repeated oozing, crusting, itching, inflammation and skin weakness. This usually happens due to aggravation of Pitta + Kapha dosha along with mild blood impurity (Rakta dushti) and weak digestion (Agni). Stress and certain foods can trigger it, but the main issue is internal imbalance and skin hypersensitivity. The good thing is: since you mentioned the area is slowly healing and recurring in a small patch only, it means the condition is chronic but manageable with proper Ayurvedic treatment and patience. Ayurvedic Treatment Approach Internal Medicines Mahamanjisthadi Kwath – helps purify blood and reduce inflammation Khadirarishta – useful in chronic wet eczema and itching Gandhak Rasayan – supports skin healing and reduces recurrence Arogyavardhini Vati – improves digestion and metabolism if gut imbalance is present If stress is contributing: mild support with Brahmi or Ashwagandha External Care Wash gently with neem leaves boiled water once daily Apply Nalpamaradi coconut oil or Neem oil mixed with coconut oil in a thin layer Do not scratch or remove crust forcefully — repeated removal delays healing and causes fresh weeping Keep the area dry from sweat but avoid excessive rubbing Diet & Lifestyle Continue avoiding: very spicy, sour, fermented and packaged foods excess citrus fruits bakery items, cold drinks, junk food Prefer: warm simple food moong dal, bottle gourd, ridge gourd turmeric in food adequate sleep stress reduction and regular bowel movement Important Observation Since the eczema is: weeping continuously forming crust repeatedly present for months affecting both ears there may also be a mild secondary fungal or bacterial infection along with eczema. Ayurveda can still help very well, but proper examination is important before selecting medicines. Expected Recovery Chronic eczema generally improves gradually: first itching/weeping reduces then crusting decreases finally skin becomes dry and healthy
According to Ayurveda, this appears to be a Vata-Pitta-Kapha dushti affecting the skin (Kushtha/Ekakushtha type tendency) with recurrence due to weak digestion, stress, and triggering foods. – The oozing, crusting, and itching indicate aggravated Pitta and Kapha, while dryness and flaking show Vata involvement. Avoid spicy, sour, fermented, packed foods, scratching, and late nights. — Focus on improving Agni, keeping bowels clear, stress reduction, and regular treatment. With proper internal medicines, local application, and dietary discipline, chronic eczema can gradually heal and recurrence can be reduced. ------Rx 1.

This pattern (weeping → crusting → again wet) behind the ear suggests chronic eczema with possible secondary bacterial infection + skin barrier weakness. It needs both drying + healing + infection control. Avoid scratching or forcibly removing crusts. Keep the area dry, especially after bathing. Avoid oils, heavy creams, and sweat accumulation behind ears. Jatyadi taila – very thin application twice daily Neem leaf wash (neem boiled water, cooled) – clean area once daily Gandhak rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after food Khadirarishta – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food If oozing increases, pain, or spreading redness occurs, it may need a short course of antibiotics along with treatment. With consistency, this cycle usually breaks in a few weeks. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
Namaste. Your symptoms look like chronic weeping eczema with recurrent inflammation behind the ears. The wet → crust → wet cycle usually indicates ongoing skin irritation with pitta-kapha imbalance. I generally advise this : • Mahamanjishthadi Kwath – 15 ml with equal water twice daily • Gandhak Rasayan – 2 tablets twice daily • Khadirarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals • Neem Capsule – 1 capsule twice daily • Dermawin Ointment – apply thin layer on affected area Avoid scratching, sour/spicy foods, stress and keep the area clean and dry. Usually gradual improvement is seen in a few weeks with regular treatment.
Thank you for providing such a detailed, thoughtful history of your condition. Rx 1.Gandhak Rasayan 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Kaishore guggulu 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Mahamanjisthadi kwath 15 ml with 15 ml water twice daily after meals 4.Khadirarishta 15 ml with 15 ml water twice daily after meals 5.Jatydadi taila- local application twice daily after cleaning the area with triphala or neem water **The golden rule for weeping eczema in Ayurveda is: If it is wet, dry it. Do not apply heavy, sticky oils to a weeping wound. Strictly Avoid: Fermented foods (idli, dosa, curd/yogurt, cheese), pickles, vinegar, bakery items containing yeast, excess salt, and highly acidic fruits (citrus fruits, tomatoes). Favor: Bitter and astringent vegetables (bitter gourd, bottle gourd, ridge gourd), mung dal, and cooling spices like fennel, coriander, and cumin.
Hello, From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms the “wetness” (kapha/pitta imbalance), the localized intensity, and the tendency to recur suggest a deeper Rakta-pitta (blood/metabolic heat) and Kapha involvement. Excess intake of citrus fruits (which can be amla and vidahi acidic and irritating to the blood) likely acted as the nidan (trigger), while stress and gut health provided the underlying terrain. Prescription : 1. Internal Medication Manjishtadi Kashayam: This is the gold standard for blood purification (raktashodhaka) and cooling inflammation. Dose: 15 ml diluted with 60 ml of warm water, twice daily, 30 minutes before food. Guggulu Tikthaka Ghritam: This helps in healing chronic, weeping skin lesions and regulating the inflammatory response. Dose: 1 teaspoon (approx. 5 ml) with warm water, twice daily, on an empty stomach. 2. External Application Nalpamaradi Keram: This is excellent for soothing inflamed, crusting skin and promoting healing. Application: Apply gently to the affected area behind both ears using a clean cotton swab. Leave it for 30–45 minutes, then gently wash with lukewarm water. Do this twice daily. Triphala Churna (Wash): Before applying the oil, it is very helpful to clean the area with a decoction of Triphala to clear the crusts without force. Preparation: Boil 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder in 200 ml of water until reduced to 100 ml, strain, and let it cool. Gently pat the area with this liquid to clean the weeping surface. Avoid Physical Removal: Do not peel or force the crusts off, as this physically restarts the kleda (weeping) phase. Let them soften and fall off naturally with the application of the oil. Dietary Note: Maintain your current avoidance of spicy/sour items. In Ayurveda, Dahi (yogurt) and fermented foods are strictly contraindicated in cases of active eczema as they increase kleda. Stress Management: Since you mentioned stress as a factor, consider Brahmi or Ashwagandha if the stress persists, as Manasika factors directly influence Pitta and skin health.
