Hello srilalshmi V, Thank you for reaching out. Based on your symptoms flaky skin on the nose, side chin, and eyebrows, with dryness and white flakes this could likely be seborrheic dermatitis or facial eczema. In Ayurveda, such skin issues are often linked with Vata-Kapha imbalance, especially when the skin becomes dry, flaky, and scaly. Your history of asthma (a Vata disorder) makes your skin more prone to dryness and sensitivity The skin on your face is shedding flakes because it’s either too dry or the oil glands are slightly inflamed. Sometimes, yeast that naturally lives on our skin (Malassezia) can cause irritation, especially around the nose and eyebrows. Using the wrong product or over-cleansing can worsen it. This is why the Sebamed gel may not have helped much it might not be enough to tackle underlying inflammation or dryness. Treatment Plan 1. Ama Pachana (First 3–5 Days) To reduce internal toxin buildup: • Hingwashtaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water after meals twice daily • Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (for gentle detox) 2. Internal Medicines (From Day 4 Onwards) • Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after meals (supports skin detox) • Kaishora Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals (reduces inflammation and skin irritation) • Manjishtadi Kwatha – 20 ml twice daily before food (blood purifier and supports skin healing) 3. External Applications • Before bath (daily): Apply Eladi Tailam or Kumkumadi Tailam on the flaky areas. Leave for 20 minutes before washing. This helps reduce dryness and inflammation. • After cleansing (night): Use Shatadhauta Ghrita (100x washed ghee) or Aloe vera gel with 1 drop of Kumkumadi tailam on affected areas to restore skin barrier. Avoid foaming or alcohol-based face washes. Instead, wash your face with chickpea flour + turmeric + rose water mix once daily or use a gentle non-foaming cleanser. Diet & Lifestyle Tips • Avoid curd, heavy oily foods, and cold drinks • Drink warm water throughout the day • Apply a few drops of cow ghee to nostrils (nasya) in the morning (optional, but helpful for vata balance) • Use a humidifier at night if the air is dry Investigations (if not done recently) • Vitamin D levels • CBC (to rule out anemia) • Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4) — as hypothyroid skin can also present similarly With consistency and a gentle routine, the flakes and dryness will reduce, and your skin will regain its smooth texture. You’re already on the right path by observing and reaching out early. Take care. Healing is possible step by step. Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

A change in the surface cells of the scalp results in a scaling or flaking. Causes Improper care Not taking regular head bath Dry scalp 1) Dhatupatradi oil for ext apply massage for 10 min on affected area 2 times a day 2) madhisnuhi rasayan-1 tsf after food 2 times with water Diet and Lifestyle Pathya A little sunlight is good for your scalp and hair. Keep calm and relaxed. It will help your hair. A short fast is a good way to begin the program. Then begin eating only nutritious foods. Anti-microbial shampoos are often recommended, but there is no evidence that this germkilling factor lessens the dandruff. To help control appearance, cleanse with a shampoo, designed to help control dandruff. Wash the hair in vinegar, to remove all the loose scales. Apathya Shampoos containing selenium sulfide can cause eye damage and hairloss. Plain water alone is also good. Reduce intake of fats, grease, and all fried foods from the diet. Stop the use of alcohol. Check to see if you have food allergies (wheat, dairy products, citrus, or something else). Avoid stress and poor elimination. Do not use strong, irritant shampoos or hair treatments. Avoid chocolate, sugar, white flour, and seafood.
