Dear Mr. Naveen Mittal. Thank you for sharing detailed history of your son condition I can understand how concerning and frustrating this persistent skin issue must be for both of you, especially when it starts to interfere with daily life routine It is clear from your description that he is experiencing a heat sensitive condition that flares up in the form of intense itching upon exposure to sunlight or warm, and find relief in cooler environments, especially when sweating begins or when enters ac rooms , and the fact is that this has been continued for last three years despite taking modern treatments and only partial relief has been achieved. This indicate that the root imbalance has not had been fully addressed. In Ayurveda Cure with the root cause, and this condition points to an underlying disturbance in the balance of PITTA and VATA doshas leading to hyper sensitivity sweating irritation and itching One important aspect to understand year is that when PITTA accumulate in the body over time, especially in a growing adolescent boy whose metabolism is naturally sharp, it finds an outlet through the skin which is a PITTA dominant organ. the fact that he gets relief after sweating indicate that the body is trying to eliminate internal heat and toxins through the natural root of perspiration . When this channel is blocked or when the body is unable to tolerate the accumulation of heat, it causes itching as a reaction You may also have developed what we referred to as AMA -PITTa condition where unprocessed metabolic toxins combined with excessive PITTM, circulate in the blood and manifest in the skin. The sharp peeking without trashes, combined with hyper sensitivity to sunlight and heat is a classical sign of this. Such conditions often resist superficial treatments like ointment or antihistamines because the problem lies deeper. Additionally you mentioned that the itching subsides upon sweating this is an important clue. In ayurveda sweating is not just a thermoregulatory process- it is a means of sveda Baga septa’s functioning properly. When this srotas is either obstructed or overburdened by heat or toxins,the skin response becomes exaggerated. If the skins natural capacity to adjust to sunlight is disturbed,it begins to overreact, especially in adolescence when hormonal and metabolic shifts are quite active Now considering your son’s age and constitution, it is likely that he has a pitta Prakriti or a pitta vata dominant Prakriti. Pitta individuals tend to be more heat sensitive, reactive to sunlight, and prone to conditions lik urticaria skin rashes or prickling sensations. If not managed properly such conditions become chronic and impact not only the body but also the mind creating restlessness,irritability, low confidence, and withdrawal from physical or social activity From a treatment standpoint, our goal is to cool down and pacify pitta support vata by grounding and nourishing practices and clear any subtle ama or inflammatory markers from the rakta dhatu This involves internal medications, diet correction lifestyle adjustments and possibly mild external therapies or rakta prasadana treatments I would suggest starting with mild and safe yet effective internal herbs that help to regulate pitta and cleanse the blood Guduchi neem sarivadi manjistha The above can be given in powder or kashaya form depending on his digestion and compliance Along with this formulation like mahamanjistha kwath or Avipattikara churna can be introduced gradually under supervision. For itching and heat intolerance, arogyavardini vati is often useful when given in the correct dose and duration On a dietary level, it is important for Arpit to avoid all pitta aggravating foods such as spicy oily fermented sour and salty items. He should be encouraged to take more of cooling pitta balancing foods such as masoor dal rice seasonal sweet fruits coconut water bottle gourd coriander fennel and cows ghee junk food colas exc bakery items and late night meals should be strictly avoided In terms of daily routine he should maintain a regular sleep pattern Avoid long sun exposure and stay hydrated but at the same time he should not fear the sun instead we need to gradually help his body build tolerance to heat by correcting the internal imbalance

If you have any questions u can ask me .I will answer to the level of your satisfaction.
So Arpit’s experiencing this itching from heat and sun exposure. In Ayurveda, such reactions often link to an imbalance, likely Pitta dosha, as it governs heat and metabolism. When Pitta becomes aggravated, often through excessive heat or light exposure, it can manifest as skin irritations or itching, just like Arpit is facing. It’s good to hear sweating and cooler environments improve his condition. It’s a classic Pitta discomfort signal.
First, to calm Pitta, he should focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet. This means embracing cooling and hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelons, coconut water, and incorporating cooling herbs such as coriander or mint. Avoid spicy, sour, fried foods and excessively salty items, which may spike Pitta further.
Next, lifestyle adaptations: Encourage Arpit to wear loose, breathable clothing made from natural fibres like cotton, especially when he’s outdoors. These allow the skin to breathe and reduce irritation. Applying sandalwood paste or aloe vera gel on his skin can provide a soothing effect—these have natural cooling properties and are gentle on the skin.
For internal balance, have him drink some fennel seed-infused water. To make it, simply soak one teaspoon of fennel seeds in a glass of water overnight and consume first thing in the morning. This can help to detoxify and pacify Pitta gradually. Also, consider meals to be lighter during the peak heat hours, with main meals either in the early morning or evening.
Since Avyurveda looks at the root causes, incorporating a regular meditation or mindfulness routine can help balance the mind-body connection, reducing stress, which sometimes exacerbates such symptoms.
That said, it’s always advisable to follow up with your allopathic physician and collaborate. Symptems persisting this long may require a complementary approach alongside medical consultation. Keep a track of any patterns or worsening of symptoms, and ensure exposure to heat is minimized during peak hours.
