Can Ayurveda provide long-term relief for nummular dermatitis? - #16724

Anonymously

A few months ago, I started noticing round, red patches on my arms and legs. At first, I thought it was just dry skin, but over time, the patches became itchy, scaly, and sometimes even oozed fluid. The itching gets worse at night, and the spots don’t seem to heal properly. I finally went to a dermatologist, and they diagnosed me with nummular dermatitis. The doctor prescribed steroid creams and moisturizers, which helped for a while, but as soon as I stopped using them, the nummular dermatitis came back. I don’t want to rely on steroid creams forever, especially since I’ve heard they can thin the skin with long-term use. That’s why I started looking into Ayurveda for a more natural and lasting solution. Does Ayurveda offer effective treatment for nummular dermatitis? Are there specific herbs or oils that can help heal the skin and stop the itching naturally? Also, does Ayurveda focus on internal healing, like detoxification, to prevent these flare-ups from happening again? If anyone has successfully treated nummular dermatitis with Ayurveda, I would love to hear what worked. Should I focus more on diet, herbal pastes, or external therapies? I just want to heal my skin without constantly worrying about the rash coming back.

In Ayurveda, nummular dermatitis is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and inflammation in the body. To treat this condition, Ayurvedic remedies focus on cooling and soothing the skin while addressing internal imbalances. Herbs like Neem, Turmeric, and Aloe Vera can be applied externally to reduce inflammation, itching, and promote healing. Oils such as coconut oil or sesame oil can be used for moisturizing the skin and preventing dryness. Internal detoxification through gentle herbal remedies like Triphala or Amla can help reduce toxin buildup, which may contribute to flare-ups. A Pitta-pacifying diet rich in cooling foods, along with lifestyle practices such as stress reduction and regular oil massages, can also support long-term healing and prevent recurrence.
