Clobetasol - #17967
A few months ago, I developed red, itchy patches on my skin, and my doctor prescribed Clobetasol cream to reduce the inflammation. I read that Clobetasol is a strong corticosteroid used to treat skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, but I’m concerned about the potential side effects of long-term steroid use. Doctor, I want to understand how Ayurveda treats chronic skin conditions without relying on steroid creams like Clobetasol. Does Ayurveda have herbal remedies that can reduce inflammation and itching naturally? I have read about Neem, Manjistha, and Turmeric as being effective for skin disorders—can these be used as an alternative to steroid creams, and how should they be applied? I also want to know if diet and digestion play a role in recurring skin issues. I have heard that pitta imbalance can lead to inflammatory skin problems—does Ayurveda suggest specific dietary changes to prevent flare-ups? Are there any lifestyle changes or detox therapies like Panchakarma that Ayurveda recommends for treating chronic skin conditions? Doctor, please guide me on how to treat skin conditions naturally and whether Ayurvedic remedies can replace Clobetasol for long-term skin health.
