It sounds like your symptoms could possibly relate to a skin condtion like contact dermatitis or eczema, however, it’s crucial to remember that only a medical professional can provide an accurate diagnosis. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this type of rash might arise due to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly an excess of Pitta dosha, which is associated with heat, inflammation, and redness. This imbalance can manifest in the skin, leading to rashes that are itchy and peeling.

To address this from an Ayurvedic standpoint, you might want consider incorporating cooling and soothing practices into your daily routine. Start with your diet: consuming foods that have a cooling effect on the body may help pacify Pitta. Drinking aloe vera juice or consuming coconut water could provide some relief. Also, incorporate leafy greens, cucumbers, and other cooling foods. Avoid spicy, oily, or fried foods that can exacerbate Pitta.

Externally, applying a paste made from sandalwood powder mixed with rose water can help soothe the skin. It’s beneficial to take a lukewarm oatmeal bath, which could relieve some of the itching. To nourish and calm the skin, you might also try using Ayurvedic oils such as Neem or Kumkumadi oil. Gently massage these oils after bathing when you skin is still damp.

Additionally, stress can aggravate skin conditions, so practices like meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) might help reduce any stress-related flare-ups. Try to get adequate rest, as well, since lack of sleep can exacerbate Pitta imbalance.

If these rashes persist or worsen, however, seeking medical attention from a qualified healthcare provider is crucial. They can conduct necessary tests to rule out any severe underlying conditions and offer appropriate treatment. Ayurveda should complement, not replace, professional medical advice especially in infections or severe reactions.

HELLO NATASHA,

Itchy rash-like pimples grouped in clusters of 5, surrounded by peeling skin, lasting 2-3 weeks, primarily on the limbs and trunk but sparing the face- a few conditions come to mind. One possible diagnosis is scabies, though other include eczema(atopic or contact), allergic dermatitis or folliculities

LIKELY CONDITION: SCABIES CAUSE- scabies is caused by a miscroscopic mite(sarcoptes scabiei). It burrows into the skin, causing intense itching, especially at night, and a rash with small red bumps or vesicles, often in clusters. It spreads through prolonged skin contact.

CLINICAL FEATURES -intense itching, worse at night -small,red,pimple-like bumps often in groups -peeling skin around the bumps -common sites= webs of fingers, wrists, elbows, armpits, waist, thighs, genitals and buttocks -may spare the face in adults

AYURVEDIC VIEW AND MANAGEMENT -In ayurveda, your symptoms resemble KUSHTHA(a broad category of skin disorders), especially KSHUDRA KUSTHA like KITIBHA (similar to scabies or eczema) or PAMA(itchy eruptions with peeling)

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT -PITTA KAPHA DOSHA= the redness, inflammation, and itching point to an imbalance in pitta(heat), and kapha(moisture/mucus) -RAKTA DUSHTI(impure blood) and TWAK VAHA SROTAS DUSHTI(skin channel disorders) are implicated.

AYURVEDIC LINE OF TREATMENT

1)SHODHANA(PURIFICATORY )- INTERNAL DETOX AT PANCHAKARMA CLINIC- IF FEASIBLE GO FOR FAST RESULT -VIRECHANA(puragtive therapy)- to eliminate excess pitta and from liver and gut -RAKTAMOKSHANA(leech therapy)- for severe or localised lesion

INTERNALLY START TAKING

1)GANDHAK RASAYANA- 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water =Anti-parasitic, detoxifier, relieves itching

2)AROGYAVARDHINI VATI- 2 tabs twice daily after meals =Liver tonic, detoxifier

3)NEEM CAPSULES- 500 mg twice daily with warm water =anti-bacterial and anti-itch

4)TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =daily at night For detox

5)KAISHOR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals =blood purifier and anti-inflammatory

6)MANJISTHA GHANVATI- 2 tabs twice daily In morning and night =detoxifies blood, skin diseases

CONTINUE FOR 4-6 WEEKS

EXTERNAL TREATMENT OILS AND PASTE -NIMBA TAILA= antimicrobial, anti itch -KARANJA TAILA= for parasitic/fungal skin conditions apply every alternate days

-TRIPHALA DECOCTION WASH- daily bathing water

-TURMERIC+NEEM LEAF PASTE= apply thrice in a week

DIY HERBAL PASTE -NEEM LEAF POWDER-1 TSP -HARIDRA- 1/2 TSP -YASHTIMADHU-1/2 TSP -Mix with rose water or aloe vera gel apply on lesions for 30 mins daily

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS -warm , cooked, light meals -grreen leafy veggies- esp bitter -turmeric, coriander, cumin -plenty of warm water, ghee as it nourishes skin -daily warm bath with NEEM/TRIPHALA deoction

AVOID -curd, fermented foods -non veg especially sea foods -excess oil/spices -sugar,jaggery,dairy-esp,milk -late nights, stress, irregular meals -day sleeping-increases kapha -avoid scratching the rash

YOGA AND LIFESTYLE SUPPORT ASANAS= sarvangasana, matsyasana, paschimottanasana- improve blood circulation

PRANAYAM= sheetali, anulom-vilom= cooling and detoxifying

MEDITATION= stress increases skin-disorders-practice mindfullness daily

OPTIONAL HERBAL REPUTED PRODUCTS YOU CAN USE -patanjali/himalaya neem tablets -baidyanath gandhak rasayana -kerala ayurveda karanja taila -baidyanath arogyavardhini veti -Arya Vaidya sala triphala churna

Your condition is most likely scabies or pitta kappa kasha. Ayurveda offers a multi level treatment internal purification, herbal remedies, local applications and strict lifestyle regulation with 2-4 weeks of consistent care, you should see major relief
