White spots on my face please prescribe medicine - #21440

Alright Sakshi, I totally get why this is worrying. White patches, especially near the eye and brow, sound like it might be vitiligo, though only a direct examination can confirm that... In Ayurveda, this is often related to imbalances in the doshas, possibly with Pitta playing a major role. Let's dive into a few approaches that could help. Firstly, incorporating Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) oil in your routine might be beneficial. It's often recommended for skin issues like white patches. Dilute it with a carrier oil, like coconut oil, apply a small amount to a small area first to check for any reaction. If all seems good, you can gently massage it into the affected areas twice daily. Next, let’s talk about your diet. It's crucial to avoid foods that can aggravate Pitta, like spicy, oily, and acidic foods. Instead, focus on a diet that's cooling and calming. Think of cucumbers, coconut water, and bitter foods like bitter gourd. Also, dairy products like fresh buttermilk can sometimes be helpful. Boosting your immune system and skin health with turmeric and amla (Indian gooseberry) is another step. Take a teaspoon of turmeric mixed with warm water twice daily. It's anti-inflammatory and can support balanced digestion, which is super important for skin health. Stress plays a part with skin conditions, too. Maybe give meditation or yoga a shot, just, you know, to keep things balanced internally. Finally, turmeric-containing pastes applied externally can aid, but always check for sensitivity. And, let’s not forget, every step must be monitored. If there’s any irritation or discomfort, stop the treatment. Seeing a dermatologist or Ayurvedic practitioner in person will provide more insight, so keep that option open. Remember, healing takes time. Embrace the process, be patient, and ensure you’re consistent with your routine. And, of course, continue consulting with professionals for guidance tailored to your specific situation.
