Your wife may have a localized skin issue, such as contact dermatitis or an infection. If it is spreading further you need to get it checked immediately. Here’s what to do in the meantime :
Immediate Care
Avoid Scratching: Prevent further irritation.
Clean the Area: Gently wash with mild soap and water, then pat dry.
Cold Compress: Apply a cold, damp cloth to relieve itching.
Topical Treatments
Apply neem and aloevera based anti microbial ointment.
Monitor Symptoms
Watch for Changes: Look for increased redness, swelling, pus, or spreading.
Avoid spicy, salty, sour and outside food for some days.

Itchy pimples with a crust in the chest area may indicate a localized skin condition, possibly related to a Vata-Pitta imbalance, which can lead to skin irritations or allergic reactions. To address this, you can apply Khadiradi Thailam, a soothing herbal oil that helps reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, consider using Gandhak Rasayana, which contains sulfur and is beneficial for skin health, helping to cleanse toxins and promote healing. It's essential to keep the affected area clean and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If there are any accompanying symptoms, such as fever, swelling, or if the condition worsens, please provide more details for a more accurate assessment.

Sounds like your wife is dealing with something that's not too fun! The crusty pimples that are all grouped up may be some kind of localized inflammation or maybe an allergic reaction - though it’s always tricky just based on description.
First off, let's not forget everyone's unique in Ayurveda, right? Like, we're dealing with prakriti (or constitution) and dosha balance all the time. Those itchiness and clustered pustules might be pointing to a Pitta imbalance. Pitta's the fiery dosha, and when it's out of whack, skin issues can pop up, literally.
For some immediate care, clean the affected area gently with a mild herbal cleanser, like a neem-based one if you've got it. But be gentle, no scrubbing! It might irritate the skin more.
Then maybe you’d wanna try applying a paste made from turmeric and sandalwood. Just mix equal parts turmeric powder and sandalwood powder with a bit of water, apply it to the bumps, let it sit for 15-20 mins., then rinse off. These are natural anti-inflammatories, the turmeric also helps with infection—bonus!
Remember to ensure her diet supports cooling of Pitta too. Like more drinking aloe vera juice, pomegranate or incorporating coriander into meals. Tell her to avoid spicy, fried, and oily foods, or over-caffeinated drinks for a bit – they tend to get that inner heat raging.
As for itching, if it’s real bad, keep nails trimmed short to minimize scratching damage, maybe even soft cotton clothes that’s not tight on skin. It's an avoidable trigger.
Of course, it’s always safer to have a healthcare professional take a look if things worsen, or new symptoms show up. They might need a closer, in-person inspection for a proper call if it persists. But for now, go with soothing and know things tend to resolve with right balance and approach.
