pimples on back - #18165
Doctor, I’ve been struggling with pimples on back for a few months now, and it’s becoming really frustrating. The breakouts are mostly concentrated on my upper back and shoulders, and I’ve tried over-the-counter acne treatments, but nothing seems to be working. I’m wondering if there’s an underlying issue that’s causing these persistent pimples. I’ve heard that stress, diet, and hormonal changes can contribute to acne, but I’m not sure if that’s the case for me. From what I read, acne on the back is often referred to as bacne and can be caused by clogged pores, sweat, or excessive oil production. Could pimples on back be a sign of an imbalance in my Kapha dosha, which governs fluids and lubrication in the body? If so, how can I address this imbalance naturally? Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that can help clear up bacne? I’ve heard that Neem, Turmeric, and Aloe Vera can help with skin issues—could these be effective for treating pimples on the back? What kind of diet and lifestyle changes should I consider to help prevent acne and keep my skin clear? Should I avoid certain foods, like dairy or spicy foods, that may aggravate the condition? I would really appreciate your Ayurvedic advice on how to treat pimples on back naturally and prevent them from coming back.
