Perioral Dermatitis - #18420
A few weeks ago, I started getting red, bumpy patches around my mouth. At first, I thought it was just dry skin or an allergic reaction, but no matter how much I moisturized, it kept getting worse. I finally went to the doctor, and they told me I have perioral dermatitis. I have never even heard of perioral dermatitis before! What causes it, and why does it mostly appear around the mouth? Is there an Ayurvedic explanation for why perioral dermatitis happens? I noticed that my perioral dermatitis flares up more when I use certain skincare products. Could chemicals in face creams or toothpaste be making it worse? Are there Ayurvedic alternatives for skincare that won’t trigger perioral dermatitis? The doctor told me to avoid steroids and heavy creams, but my skin feels so dry without them. Is there any Ayurvedic remedy that can help heal perioral dermatitis without making my skin too dry? I also read that perioral dermatitis can be related to digestion. Sometimes, when I eat spicy food or dairy, my skin gets more irritated. Does Ayurveda see perioral dermatitis as a sign of internal imbalance? If so, what changes should I make in my diet to help it go away? Another thing I’ve noticed is that stress makes my perioral dermatitis worse. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or practices that can help with stress-related skin conditions like this? I’m really hoping to heal my perioral dermatitis naturally instead of relying on antibiotics. Is that possible with Ayurveda? How long does it usually take to see improvements with natural treatments?

How to Remove Pimples from Face - #19545
My face is a mess right now, and I have no idea what to do. I used to get a few pimples here and there, but now it’s like my entire face is covered. Red, painful, and some of them even leave marks after they go away. It’s getting worse, especially around my cheeks and forehead. I’ve tried different face washes, scrubs, and even some creams, but nothing seems to work. Every time I search online, I get a million different answers on how to remove pimples from face, but I don’t know what actually works. I also think my diet might be making it worse. I eat a lot of fried and spicy food, plus I drink coffee almost every day. I’ve heard that too much heat in the body can cause breakouts, so does that mean I should stop eating all these things? And what about dairy? Some people say milk causes pimples, while others say it doesn’t. It’s really confusing. Recently, someone told me that Ayurveda might be the best way how to remove pimples from face naturally. They mentioned Neem and Turmeric, but I don’t know how to use them properly. Should I apply them directly, or is it something I need to drink? Also, is there some kind of Ayurvedic detox that can help cleanse the skin from inside? My biggest concern is that these pimples are leaving dark spots, and my skin just looks uneven. I don’t want to keep using chemical creams if there’s a better way. If anyone has tried Ayurveda for this, can you tell me what actually worked? I just want to know how to remove pimples from face without making it worse.
