Hello rishab , Thank you for sharing. Based on what you’ve described, your symptoms strongly resemble Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP) with clear photosensitivity and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This condition is stubborn and chronic, but Ayurveda can help by addressing the deeper imbalance — Pitta-Vata dushti, Rakta dhatu vitiation, and poor tissue detox leading to pigmentation not fading. ⸻ Ayurvedic Explanation (in simple tone for patient): LPP in Ayurveda is similar to a condition called “Neelika” or “Vyanga”, where Pitta (heat) in the skin is aggravated and mixes with vitiated Vata, causing dryness, dark pigmentation, and itching. Sunlight further increases Pitta and causes your Rakta (blood) to overreact, leading to long-lasting black patches and burning/itching sensation. Since you’ve had this for 10 years, it shows deep-seated Rakta Dushti (toxic blood state), Bhrajaka Pitta imbalance (skin-level Pitta), and Rasa-Rakta Kshaya (poor nourishment and detox of first two tissues). Creams alone can’t correct this — internal detox and Pitta-Vata pacification is needed. ⸻ Ayurvedic Treatment Plan Internal Medicines: 1. Sarivadyasava – 15 ml + equal water after lunch and dinner 2. Kaishora Guggulu – 2 tablets twice a day after food 3. Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml + water twice a day before meals 4. Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water External Applications: 1. Eladi Taila – for daily body application (apply and leave for 30 min before bath) 2. Kunkumadi Taila – apply a thin layer on affected areas at night (don’t use in day) 3. Aloe vera pulp (fresh) + Sandalwood powder pack on face or darkened areas – twice a week 4. Do not use steroid-based creams or harsh exfoliators ⸻ Shodhana (Detox) Advice: • Raktamokshana (bloodletting) and Virechana (purgation) are highly recommended for long-standing LPP, especially in dushti of Rakta-Pitta. Please consult a qualified Ayurvedic doctor for this nearby. ⸻ Diet Guidelines: • Avoid sour, spicy, fermented, and oily foods • Completely avoid: curd, tomatoes, green chilli, pickles, fried food • Include: amla, ghee, moong dal, old rice, bottle gourd, turmeric, neem juice (in moderation) • Drink coriander + vetiver (usheer) infused water ⸻ Lifestyle Tips: • Always apply physical sunscreen or cover yourself with cotton clothing when in sun • Do not scrub or rub affected areas • Avoid hot water bath and sweating in sun • Night sleep before 10:30 PM, avoid screen exposure late night ⸻ Optional Investigations: • Vitamin D3 • Serum IgE (to rule out allergic tendency) • Liver function test (since Pitta and Rakta are related) ⸻ This condition needs patience but can improve with internal correction and gentle skin support. Don’t depend on fairness creams. With consistent care, the patches will gradually lighten and your skin will regain balance. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, Dr. Karthika

You Can take Mahamanjistadi kadha 15 ml twice daily after food with water will help as blood purifier Sariva tablet 1-0-1 will help lighten LPP. Kamdudharas 1-0-1, help balance pH in stomach Use Sunscreen SPF 50+, during the day on exposed areas. Since LPP is chronic, will take longer time to show results. Avoid processed, junk foods, Do pranayam daily 5-10mins twice lom -vilom bhastrika kapalbhati. Taking herbal laxative to avoid constipation is recommended. So take tablet Harde 0-0-2 at bedtime with water.
