Seeking advice on effectiveness and side effects of sunarin ointment for persistent skin condition - #22600

I am really struggling with this skin condition that's been bothering me for months now. My dermatologist suggested using sunarin ointment, and while I've been applying it for a few weeks, I'm not really sure it's making a difference. Like, I had this spot on my arm that got really itchy and scaly—it looked terrible! I started using the sunarin ointment as directed, but I feel like it’s not working the way I hoped it would. I mean, I really thought I’d see better results by now. Also, I’ve got this weird sensation, like tingling and a bit of redness after using it sometimes. Is that normal? Should I be worried? Has anyone else had a similar experience with sunarin ointment? Did it take a while to see improvement for you? I’ve been reading mixed reviews online, and it's making me second guess if I should continue using it or try something else. I just want to clear this up and get back to normal skin—it's driving me nuts! I really could use some advice or personal stories from those of you who've dealt with this or used sunarin ointment before. Thank you!

Hello James

I understand, you have been dealing with the skin problem for quite some time now, and it’s natural to feel a bit unsure when something doesn’t show the result you expected. You are doing the writing by observing how your body responds and asking questions before continuing any application. Now , about SUNARIN ointment-this is usually used more for piles related concern because it has certain herbs that help with itching, burning and inflammation in that area. It is not something that is commonly used for general skin conditions like itchy or scaly patches on the arms, so if it is not giving relief and especially if you’re feeling some tingling or redness after using it, it is better to stop for now. It doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong, but your skin may not be comfortable with it.

Skin problems in Ayurveda are seen as something that starts from within the system, not just outside. What appears on the surface usually as a connection with digestion, the liver, the blood and sometimes even emotional stress or disturbed sleep. Whenever digestion is not working smoothly or when there is excess heat or toxin buildup in the blood, the skin tends to reflect that. In many cases, dryness, itching, and scaly patches are related to imbalances in VATA and PITTA-especially when there is irregular eating, not enough water intake or too much fried and spicy food. This imbalance is create a kind of internal eat or dryness that shows up in the skin sometimes as flaky, spots, redness, or roughness. You need not to worry. This is something we often see, and it can be mannered with the right care. What usually helps in such situation is not just applying something externally, but also giving some internal support.- like simple herbs that purify the blood, reduce heat, and support, skin repair. Neem oil, manjistha, and guduchi or some of the classical herbs that work well for such conditions, they help clean the system, especially the blood and liver, and over time, the skin also starts looking and feeling better.

At the same time, it’s good to keep your meal simple -fresh home cooked food, avoid too much of spicy oil or packet snacks. Drinking warm water, instead of cold else in flushing out the toxins and even improves your digestion. And try to eat at regular intervals, do not skip meals. Get enough sleep, and it’s better to stay away from harsh soaps or hot showers. Instead of using SUNARIN ointment, you can try using something more cooling and gentle - like simple, coconut oil mixed with a pinch of turmeric will be more beneficial. This helps so irritation and dryness, but do not rub or crack the area. Just gently apply and leave it. Take your time, sometimes, even simple changes. Give good result when done consistently skin does take a little time to settle, but once your system starts clearing up, it often improves on its own. Wishing you healthy comfortable skin soon.

Sunarin is typically prescribed for anal fissures or hemorrhoids, not skin conditions like itchy, scaly patches on the arm ,not designed for general dermatological conditions. As per your discription your condition is- Ringworm, dermatitis or may me other.Get it checked from dermatitis. As of now- a. Stop using Sunarin b. Avoid scratching. c. Keep area clean and dry . The only home remedies that work in all skin issues. Neem paste (antifungal, antibacterial) – apply fresh neem leaf paste for 15 min daily

Coconut oil + camphor (1 pinch) – apply it on the area,it reduces itching and moisturizes

Aloe vera gel (pure, fresh) – soothes irritation

HELLO JAMES, Sunarin is primarily used for Haemorrhoid related inflammation - not typically for general skin issues like itchy, scaly patches on arm it contains herbs like haridra, rasaunt , nimbi etc which are sooting and anti-inflammatory but not necessarily formulated for dermatitis , eczema ad fungal infection

your symptoms - itchy scaly skin with tingling /redness after use could be due to contact reaction to ingredients present in sunarin the ointment isn’t for your condition so STOP using it

other suggestion- Apply plain sold pressed coconut oil or fresh organic aloe vera avoid scratching or applying hot water

according to your symptom ayurvedic easy management you can follow- oil application- charma Roga taila+neem taila- daily application 45 min before bath jatyadi taila application- if cracks

internally start gandhak rasayana- 1 tab twice daily after food for 21 days Kishor guggulu- 2 tab twice daily after food mahamanjistha kwatha- 20 ml daily with water before meals twice arogyavardhini vati- 1 tab thrice daily

for 30 days and your symptoms will get subside significantly

stop using SUNARIN ointment and start this

avoid having curd , pickles, seafood, junk include turmeric, neem, amla in diet

thank you

Using sunarin ointment for a persistent skin condition can be a bit, well, confusing and sometimes disappointing, especially when the results don’t quite meet your expectations. It’s important to remember that everyone’s skin reacts differently to treatments, so what may work wonders for one person might not be as effective for another. If you’ve been using it for a few weeks yet noticing only limited—or no improvement—it could be a sign to reassess its suitability for you. Also, the tingling sensation and redness you mentioned could be a mild side effect, although these are not always worrisome, persistent or worsening of these symptoms should be reported to your dermatologist, as it could indicate sensitivity or an allergic reaction.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, skin conditions are often linked to imbalances in the doshas, with Pitta dosha typically playing a significant role when symptoms like redness and itchiness are present. In Ayurveda, the focus is on balancing these doshas, enhancing digestion (or Agni) and removing accumulated toxins, or ‘Ama’, from the body. You may want to consider incorporating some supportive Ayurvedic practices alongside or instead of your current treatment.

Dietary changes can sometimes provide relief; avoid overly spicy, sour, and fried foods as these can aggravate Pitta. Instead, focus on cooling, hydrating foods like cucumber, cilantro, and aloe vera. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help with detoxification process.

Applying soothing, natural remedies could also offer some relief. For external application, consider using coconut oil or aloe vera gel as they can soothe and moisturize irritated skin. These are generally safe and less likely to cause unwanted reactions.

It’s equally vital to address any stress levels you might have, as stress can exacerbate skin issues. Practice regular stress-reducing activities such as meditation, yoga, or simply taking time to relax in nature, which can bring balance to the mind and body.

Always talk to your dermatologist, especially if you notice any worsening or new symptoms, as they might recommend stopping the ointment or offering alternatives. It’s crucial that any changes to your treatment regimen are made with professional guidance. Balancing modern dermatological approaches with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom can sometimes offer a comprehensive path towards healing and managing persistent skin conditions effectively.
