In Ayurveda, your symptoms of dark skin patches and itchy bumps may align with imbalances in Pitta and Kapha doshas, often aggravated by toxins (ama) in the blood. Ayurvedic management focuses on detoxification, soothing inflammation, and promoting skin healing.
Remedies:
Herbal Applications:
Apply a paste of neem leaves or turmeric powder mixed with aloe vera gel to reduce itching, inflammation, and infection.
Use Kumkumadi oil to lighten dark patches and promote skin regeneration.
Internal Detox:
Take Mahamanjisthadi Kwath or Guduchi capsules to purify the blood and balance Pitta.
Triphala churna can help eliminate toxins and improve digestion, which supports skin health.
Dietary Changes:
Avoid spicy, oily, and salty foods that aggravate Pitta.
Include cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and leafy greens.
Drink herbal teas made from coriander seeds or fennel for detoxification.
Lifestyle Adjustments:
Avoid scratching to prevent blood leakage and secondary infections. Apply cold compresses for relief.
Follow a regular skincare routine using natural soaps and moisturizers with neem or sandalwood.
Always consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosha balancing and to confirm the remedies. If no improvement occurs, seek further medical evaluation.

Skin issues like itching, irritation and dark patches can be quite frustrating. Ayurvedically speaking, it sounds like you could be dealing with an imbalance in your Pitta and possibly Kapha doshas, which might be causing your skin to react like this. When Pitta gets aggravated, it often leads to inflammation and heat in the body, while an imbalance in Kapha can cause thickness or discoloration in the skin.
Firstly, avoid scratching as much as you can. I know it's tough not to, but scratching can make things worse and lead to infection. To bring some immediate relief, you might consider trying a cooling paste. Mix a bit of sandalwood powder with rose water till it forms a paste and apply it gently to the affected areas. This combo is cooling and should help soothe the skin.
Diet-wise, cut back on spicy, oily, and sour foods since they could be stoking your Pitta dosha. Instead, include foods that are cooling and calming. Think cucumbers, leafy greens, sweet fruits, and coconut water. Even ghee, though it sounds counterintuitive, is great for cooling the body and can be applied gently to the skin if it's not too raw in places.
Drinking plenty of water with a few pieces of coriander seeds soaked overnight can also help cleanse your system, as hydration is crucial to flushing out toxins from your skin and body. Consider a neem capsule; it is known for its purifying qualities and might offer some relief.
For small bumps on your hands, a gentle exfoliation can be beneficial. You can make a simple home scrub with chickpea flour and a pinch of turmeric mixed with water, and gently rub it over the spots.
However, if you notice any severe changes or if the symptoms worsen, I strongly encourage you to seek out a healthcare professional promptly. Make sure these bumps aren’t something more serious. Keep practices consistent to restore balance, but safety first always.
