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