Recurring lumps and that burning sensation in such a sensitive area sound really discomforting. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this for so long. I think it’s really important to first consider the nature of these lumps and any patterns you’ve observed—like when they appear or if anything seems to trigger them.
From an Ayurveda perspective, this could indicate an imbalance in the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). The burning sensation suggests a disturbance in Pitta, associated with heat and inflammation. For a more targeted approach, it’s crucial to understand your prakriti (your constitutional makeup) and any lifestyle factors contributing to this imbalance.
Firstly, looking after your diet is important. Try to avoid spicy, oily, or fried foods which can aggravate Pitta. Think cooling stuff like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens, which calm the body. Drink plenty of water and maybe infused with some coriander or fennel seeds to further cool your system. Have you noticed any food triggers perhaps?
Herbal remedies can be helpful too. Neem and turmeric have properties that support skin health and reduce inflammation. You can consider applying a paste of these herbs mixed with a little water on the affected areas, but please do a patch test on healthier skin first to ensure there’s no reaction. If you feel like trying something herbal internally, consult with an expert who could guide you more, as these herbs might not suit everyone.
Balancing stress levels also plays a part. Practices like yoga and meditation can help soothe Pitta by calming the mind and reducing stress. Even walking in nature with deep breathing can offer some relief. And, always ensure you get enough sleep and rest.
However, it is quite crucial to have this evaluated by a healthcare professional, especially if this condition persists and for over 10 years, another layer of medical examination could provide a clearer insight and rule out any serious conditions. Taking a step towards understanding and treating the root cause might bring the relief you’re longing for.
