Dr. Neha Saini · Answer

Based on your detailed description — which includes pimples and acne over the face, neck, shoulders (front & back), oily T-zone, scars, black marks, patchy beard, and hair fall — it's clear that the imbalance is not just superficial. Ayurveda sees such conditions as a manifestation of deeper doshic imbalances, particularly involving Pitta and Kapha, along with Rakta (blood) and Meda (fat tissue) dushti.

This Might Be Happening (According to Ayurveda)
Pitta Imbalance:
Pitta governs heat, metabolism, and inflammatory processes. Its aggravation (due to spicy food, stress, or poor sleep) often leads to acne, redness, and scars.
Kapha Accumulation:
Excess Kapha contributes to oiliness, clogged pores, and slow healing, especially in the T-zone and upper back.
Rakta Dushti (Impure Blood):
Leads to chronic skin breakouts, pigmentation, and scarring.
Weak Digestion & Toxin Build-Up (Ama):
Poor gut health can cause internal toxins, which reflect through the skin and hair — worsening acne, marks, and hair loss.
Asthi & Majja Dhatu Imbalance:
Patchy beard and hair thinning often arise from imbalance in deeper tissues — bone (Asthi) and nervous (Majja) — both nourished by a strong digestive system.

External Treatments:
1. Herbal Ubtan (for Acne, Pigmentation & Oil Control)

Ingredients: Manjishtha + Daruharidra + Lodhra

Mix with fresh Aloe vera (juice) to form a smooth paste

Apply on face, neck, and shoulders 2–3x/week

Leave for 15–20 mins (don’t over-dry), then wash with lukewarm water
2. Post-Ubtan Application (for Scars & Marks)

Use Shatadhouta Ghrita (100x washed ghee) or Kumkumadi Taila

Apply lightly over scars and dark spots daily at night
Internal Support (To be taken under Ayurvedic supervision)
1. Herbal Decoction – 40 ml twice daily
Prepare using Bhringraj, Bibhitaki, Amalaki, Shikakai, Ashwagandha, manjishtha
2. Neem Vati – 2 tablets twice daily
3. Avipatikar Churna – 3 gm at bedtime with lukewarm water

Pathya (Diet) Recommendations
✅ Favour:

Warm, home-cooked food with ghee

Green leafy vegetables (esp. bitter), moong dal, barley

Amla (Indian gooseberry), turmeric, fennel, coriander

Herbal teas (jeera, tulsi, or neem)

❌ Avoid:

Spicy, fermented, fried, or oily foods

Cold drinks, curd, cheese, or packaged snacks

Incompatible food combinations (milk + salt, fruits + dairy, etc.)

Late-night meals, irregular eating, and screen exposure at night

Lifestyle Tips
Practice Pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom & Sheetali) daily

Avoid touching/scrubbing acne-prone skin

Maintain regular sleep-wake cycles

Wash face 2–3x daily with lukewarm water only

Avoid chemical-based cosmetics and harsh scrubs

While acne, hair fall, and pigmentation can feel persistent and frustrating, Ayurveda views these as signs of internal imbalance that can be corrected with time, care, and consistency. Your skin and hair can return to balance — but the key lies in addressing the root cause, not just the surface.

I strongly recommend consulting an Ayurvedic physician for personalized guidance, as individual Prakriti, diet, and lifestyle play a big role in response to treatment.

Wishing you glowing skin, healthy hair, and lasting confidence ahead.

Dr. Shaniba P · Answer

Your symptoms appear to be primarily due to raktha dushti. So internal purification is essential. Ayurvedic medicines can be helpful, along with specific dietary and lifestyle modification to prevent further vitiation of Raktha.

1. Manjishtadi kashayam 15 ml+ 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food.
2. Kaisora guggulu 1-0-1 with kashayam.
3. Khadirarishtam 15 ml twice daily after food.
4. Arogyavardhini vati 1 after food.

5. Eladi choornam with warm water for external application over face.
6. Nalpamaram boiled water can be used for bath.
7. For hair fall - regular head massage with ksheerabala tailam for 15 minutes.

Include green leafy vegetables 🌿 and cooling fruits like pomegranate, 🍇 grapes, watermelon🍉, Amla etc.

Avoid excess salty and spicy 🔥 foods, fermented foods, alcohol, carbonated drinks, etc

Dr. Karthika · Answer

hello Parth Mehta,
on looking at everything — the acne, oily skin, black marks, full-face breakouts, back and shoulder acne, patchy beard, and hair fall — this clearly shows a Pitta-Kapha imbalance. In Ayurveda, we call this a condition of Rakta Dushti + Mamsa Dhatu dusthi, which means your blood is overheated and carrying toxins (Pitta) while your skin and oil channels (Kapha) are clogged. When digestion isn’t clear and Agni (fire) becomes irregular, it leads to Ama formation (toxic build-up) which tries to exit through your skin. That’s why you’re seeing pimples with pus, oiliness, and dark marks left behind. Also, hair fall and patchy beard show your Rasa-Rakta-Mamsa dhatus are weak — so tissues aren’t getting proper nourishment. This is reversible — but you need to treat the root cause inside, not just creams. Once your blood is cooled, digestion corrected, and skin channels cleared, you’ll notice visible relief from acne and hair problems.

Prescription (Shodhana + Shamana Chikitsa)

Manjishta capsule – 1 capsule twice daily after food
Neem tablet – 1 tablet in morning empty stomach
Avipattikar churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night
Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner
Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after food
Kumkumadi lepam – Apply on marks every night and rinse in morning
Neelibhringadi taila – Apply on scalp and beard daily, leave overnight

Diet Guidelines

Avoid curd, fried food, bakery items, cheese, sour fruits, and excess non-veg
Strictly no sugar-loaded items like chocolates, pastries, carbonated drinks
Avoid tea/coffee for 4 weeks — instead take coriander seed water or jeera water
Eat warm, fresh food: moong dal, lauki, pumpkin, ridge gourd, thin rice kanji
Add turmeric, coriander, and cumin regularly to food
Drink warm water only — avoid fridge water, juices, and milk at night
Have dinner by 7:30 pm, sleep by 10:30 pm daily
Weekly 1 day light fasting or fruit-only day if comfortable

Investigations (if not done recently)

CBC
FBS/PPBS (to rule out insulin resistance if acne is severe)
Serum DHEAS and Testosterone (if beard is patchy and acne is hormonal)
Vitamin D3, B12
USG Abdomen (to check if PCOD or fatty liver is linked)

This condition needs 6–8 weeks of focused care and you will start seeing a real change within 2–3 weeks if followed properly.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care, regards,
Dr.Karthika.

Dr. Ayush Varma · Answer

It sounds like you're dealing with quite a range of skin and hair concerns. Let's address them considering Ayurveda's time-tested principles.

For acne and pimples on oily areas like your face, neck, and shoulders, ayurveda points toward a Pitta and Kapha imbalance. To balance Pitta, reduce oily, spicy, and fermented foods while focusing on a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and cooling herbs like coriander and fennel. You can apply a paste of sandalwood and rose water to the affected areas to soothe inflammation and cool the skin. Wash your face twice daily with lukewarm water and avoid harsh soaps that can strip natural oils or increase Pitta aggravation.

To deal with acne scars and black marks, use a paste of turmeric and honey. Turmeric, known for its antiseptic properties, aids in reducing pigmentation and speeding up skin healing. Apply this mixture to the scars, leave it for about 15 minutes, then rinse. Consistency is key here, apply it daily or at least thrice a week.

Hair fall and patchy beard issues may signal a Vata imbalance. A regular scalp massage using coconut or sesame oil enriched with Amla or Bringraj can help strengthen hair roots and stimulate growth. Do this 2-3 times a week. Also, consume a diet high in proteins, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Meditation and stress-reduction techniques such as daily yoga or pranayama can also balance Vata, benefiting hair health.

Lifestyle factors such as irregular sleep patterns, excessive stress, and poor diet can exacerbate these conditions. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep and maintain a balanced diet that supports your dosha constitution. Hydration is fundamental too, ensuring you drink adequate water helps maintain skin health.

If these concerns persist or worsen, it might be prudent to consult a dermatologist or a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance. They can offer targeted therapies and more specific guidance tailored to your unique constitution and condition. Remember, changes in diet and lifestyle take time to manifest improvements, so patience and consistency are key.
