Itchy dry skin that leads to white patches after few weeks of scratching

Question

Hello, I have been having skin issues for the 10 years or so. Initially this phenomenon was very slow. It started with itchy skin in the lower leg, and I used to scratch it to give me some relief and after a few weeks, it will have tiny red colour blisters in that area and then the skin will start fading in a few weeks in that area and eventually become lighter and after a few months the skin and the hair becomes white there. Initially, it was in only some areas like legs and back. But since last year or so it has become widespread all over the body – bad itching and dry skin and then I scratch hard and then after few weeks the skin starts fading and becomes white. The worst itching happens when I lie down on the bed in the night to sleep.
I also have some major issues like excessive flatulence, semi formed stools with motions 3 or 4 times a day. Also find things like milk, ghee etc hard to digest. I get burps for hours after eating these. Also, I have constant cramping on the right abdomen. Not very painful but irritating prickly sensations and weakness. Many times, I feel sleepy and tired an hour or so after a meal. However, recently I have found that Hingwashtak churan and Kutajarishta are helping with the digestive issues. I also started doing Jal-basti once a week. Will it help if it is done with some relevant ayurvedic medicines.
I go to sleep quite easily but wake up after only 5 or 6 hours of sleep, particularly on days when the gas build up is too much. After relieving the gas the urge for urine also reduces. Sometimes my body also feels unusually cold.
Since last 10 years since I have the above, I have lost more than half of my hair also.
Are all these symptoms inter-related? In that case is there any wholesome Ayurvedic medicines? Currently my main concern is the skin - what can I do for the skin as it’s the most disturbing currently – both the itching, and white patches.

Namaste Anil

Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform
I can understand how deeply troubling Linga, this long-standing skin condition must be for you, especially as it now involves not just a physical discomfort, but visible changes in the skin and overall quality of life, what you have described reflects a chronic imbalance at the level of both acne that is digestive fire and Rakta Dattu that is blood tissue and also points towards the vitiation of PitaVATA and possible Kapha Dosha over time

Your symptoms of dry itchy skin followed by colour loss and white patches seem to indicate a condition in AyurvedaSHAWITRARKILASA with the pigmentation of the skin is disturbed due to DOSHA -DHATU imbalance, especially aggravated vata and pitta the history of itching, blistering, and white discolouration indicates that the skin has gone through multiple stages of inflammation, depression, and loss of BRAJAKA PITTA( a such type of PITT A responsible for skin colour and glow)

The strong connection between your digestive complaints and your skin symptoms is very significant. Ayurveda emphasises that all disease begins with poor digestion, the flatulence semi form tool multiple bowel moments and intolerance to milk and ghee clearly show deep seated AMA that is toxic undigested, residue, presence and disturbed APANA VATA
Weakness and drowsiness after meal suggest that the AGNI is not only but also verse 1SHAMA leading to Mall absorption and DHATUKSHAYA. This is Y. Your seeing symptoms like hair loss, coldness in the body and reduced skin vitality.

It is excellent that you have started using himgwastaka churna and kutaja aristha both are suitable in your condition
Hingwastaka balances VATA in the digestive track and improves digestion while kutaja  Arista helps with bowel regularity and strengthens the GUT lining
JAL  BASTI when done appropriately under guidance can be very effective in reducing accumulated VATA and PITTA from the colon and support skin health, indirectly. You can announce its benefits by using medicated decoction like triphala or dashamoola kwatha

Four years skin specifically, the first goal is to purify the blood and balance the DOSH case internally

Arogyavardini vati-one tablet to be taken twice daily after food to purifier, liver and blood
Khadira aristha -four teaspoon to be taken with equal quantity of water twice daily after food, 
Manjisthadi kwath-1 teaspoon in 400 ML water, boil litres hundred ML and drink twice and emptied stomach act as an excellent blood purifier
Bakuchi taila-apply gently on white patches, ideally after an exposure of 5 to 10 minutes
Avoid harsh, rubbing, or excessive scratching
Keep the skin moisturised with herbal oils like Kumkum Thailam
Avoid incompatible food like milk with sore fruits at night or fried fermented food
Prefer warm easily digestible
Meals with spices like CUMIN, Ajwain , dry ginger
Regular oil massage
Naya therapy
Early sleep can greatly help stabilise VATA and improve nourishment to the skin

All your symptoms that is skin issues, digestive imbalance, sleep disturbances, coldness, and air loss, or interconnected with each other. According to Ayurveda, they all stem  from impaired Agni.
Disturbed VATA and PITTA and accumulated AMA
When root is addressed, all symptoms start to heal
So please do not lose, hope skin diseases to say they are stubborn, but it doesn’t mean that they are in curable. Ayurveda Cure from root cause so it may take some time to see the result, but with consistent treatment and proper guidance. You, you can experience a long-term relief with balance.

Dr. Ayush Varma · Answer

The symptoms you're experiencing suggest an underlying Vata-Pitta imbalance, causing dryness, itching, and digestive disturbances. In Ayurveda, it is believed that when Vata dosha, responsible for movement and dryness, and Pitta dosha, governing heat and metabolism, are imbalanced, it can lead to conditions similar to what you're describing - especially involving skin and digestion.

Firstly, addressing the skin issue - the key is to pacify Vata and Pitta. Implement regular abhyanga (oil massage) using sesame oil or coconut oil to nourish skin and reduce dryness. Massage the oil gently on the affected areas, let it sit for 30 minutes, then take a warm shower. Avoid hot water which could worsen the dryness. You might also try using turmeric paste mixed with a bit of water and apply it on the white patches - turmeric can help soothe the skin. Avoid scratching, as it can worsen the condition; instead, try patting or rubbing gently if you must.

Regarding your diet, focus on warm, cooked meals incorporating foods that are easy to digest. Include ghee in small amounts since you found it hard to digest. You might want to try trikatu churna before meals to aid digestion, but consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to find the right dosage. Lean towards sweet, salty, and sour foods which pacify Vata, while avoiding spicy, fried, and fermented foods which can aggravate Pitta. Drink warm water instead of cold, and avoid eating late at night.

For your digestion, since you've found Hingwashtak churan helpful, continue with it, but ensure consistency. Jal-basti can aid in balancing Vata but must be done under supervision. If sleep disturbances persist, consider a light chamomile tea before bedtime to help relax the mind. Yoga and pranayama can be beneficial for calming the mind-body system and should be practiced regularly. Lastly, since there are many factors at play, please consider seeing a knowledgeable Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide personalized guidance, assessing firsthand your prakriti, symptoms, and lifestyle.
