Acne marks and hair on face and active acne - #26594

Hi Sam need to know few more things to get full details, Have you done any blood test of TSH, T3 and T4, and USG scan of Abdomen to rule out PCOD, because the symptoms you have mentioned are also seen in pcod . So at first we have to find out the exact reasons of the acne, hairfall, hair over neck, etc. If you haven’t these reports please go through the tests I had mentioned above.

Externally 1.Thriphaladi churnam- Mix with warm water /rose water - Mix it well to paste form ,apply over those acne areas, leave it for 20-30min, then wash it off /weekly 3-4times you can apply this.

*Do’s Have plenty of water /day More focus on fruits and vegetables Include Sprouted grains Practice yoga and meditation regularly

*Don’ts Chocolates Icecreams Tea /coffee Oily too salty sour sweet foods Junk foods Carbonated/soft drinks Maida and its products

Mash ripe papaya and mix it with a pinch of turmeric powder to create a paste. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off. **you can also add besan in this mixture. **Daily Massage with few drops of LOMSHATANAADI OIL. It will take some time but you’ll definitely get rid from your unwanted hair…

HELLO SAM,

From what you’ve shared, you are facing -acne (pimples) on face and near the nose -scars and marks after acne heals -blackheads and small white liquid filled bumps (whiteheads) -unwanted facial hair (sideburns, neck hair, and possibly upper lip/chin) -oily and uneven skin

You are 15, and these symptoms are common in teenagers due to hormonal changes during puberty. Your hormones are working hard to build your adult body- but this may also create too much oil, clogged pores and hair growth in unwanted places

In Ayurveda, this condition is mainly caused by

ACNE, REDNESS= pitta (heat, inflammation) OILY SKIN, WHITE BUMPS= kapha(heaviness, oil, toxins) SCARS, HAIR GROWTH= vata (dryness, hormonal irregularity)

Also, Ama (toxins) build up from poor digestion or wrong diet, which get into skin through blood and show up as acne, hair, and blackheads

TREATMENT GOALS

-Purify the blood= to prevent acne from forming -Balance hormones naturally without chemicals -Clear toxins from the gut, liver and skin -Reduce facial hair over time , gently -Fade scars and marks with healing naturally -Prevent recurrence with food, herbs and yoga

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA (detoxifier)= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 2 months =cleans the stomach and intestines, clears toxins from body remember if your digestion is clean, your skin becomes clearer

2) KHADIRARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals, twice daily for 3 months =purifies blood, removes toxins, fights acne and skin infections

3) MANJISTHA CAPSULE= 1 cap with warm water once daily in morning for 3 months =reduces acne marks, pigmentation, and purifies blood

4) SPEARMINT TEA= 1 cup daily for 3 months =balances hormones that cause facial hair

5) ASHOKARISHTA= 15ml twice daily if periods are irregular then only

EXTERNAL SKIN CARE

A) NEEM + MULTANI MITTI FACE PACK = 3 TIMES/WEEK =mix into paste , apply on clean face, wash after 20 min =neem kills bacteria, multani mitti absorbs oil and tightens pores

B) KUMKUMADI TAILA (night serum) =apply 3 drops gently on clean skin at night (avoid on active acne areas) =fades marks, improves glow, helps even skin tone

C) STEAM WITH NEEM AND TULSI LEAVES =boil a handful of tulsi + neem leaves in water, take facial steam for 5 mins =opens pores, helps ulcer blackheads

D) UBTAN FOR FACIAL HAIR (3-4 TIMES/WEEK) =1/2 tsp Kasturi turmeric+ 1 tsp besan + rose water =apply paste let semi dry then rub off gently in opposite direction of hair =helps reduce and weaken hair growth over months

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

DO -sleep early by 10:30 PM= improves hormone balance -wake up early by 7 am= best time for digestion and detox -keep skin clean but don’t over wash- twice a day is enough -use mild natural cleansers like ubtan or homemade Chandan mix -keep hair way from face- wash pillowcases and hair regularly

AVOID -oily, spicy, and fried food -milk, cheese, panner can cause acne in sensitive people -processed sugar, junk food, and cold drinks -stress, late night phone use, poor sleep -touching or popping pimples

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances all3 doshas -sheetali pranayam= cools the system ,calms pitta -Bhramari= soothes stress and skin

-You are not lone= 70-80% of teens experience acne and hormone shifts -With natural and consistent care, your body will heal itself- Ayurveda works slowly but deeply -Don’t feel pressure to look perfect- focus on health, balance, and gentle healing -Be kind to your body. No shortcuts- avoid chemicals, bleach, laser, or aggressive treatments

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

​A holistic approach to managing unwanted hair growth and acne from an Ayurvedic perspective would focus on balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and addressing the underlying causes. Here’s a general overview of potential Ayurvedic strategies, but it’s crucial to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized plan. ​Understanding the Ayurvedic Perspective ​Ayurveda views unwanted hair growth (hirsutism) and acne as imbalances in the body. ​Hirsutism: Often linked to a Kapha imbalance, which can lead to excess growth. It might also be associated with hormonal imbalances, which Ayurveda addresses through diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies. ​Acne: Primarily a Pitta imbalance, often with a Kapha component. Pitta’s fiery nature can cause inflammation and heat, leading to red, inflamed pimples. Kapha’s qualities of oiliness and stickiness can contribute to clogged pores and cystic acne. The blackheads with white liquid might be an indication of ama (toxins) building up. ​Ayurvedic Strategies for Hair Reduction and Skin Health ​Ayurveda doesn’t offer a quick fix but focuses on long-term solutions through natural methods. The goal is to reduce hair growth and improve skin health from within. ​1. Diet and Lifestyle: ​Pitta-Kapha Pacifying Diet: Since both acne and hair growth are related to these doshas, a diet that balances both is often recommended. ​Reduce: Spicy, oily, and fried foods, processed foods, and excessive dairy. ​Increase: Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. ​Hydration: Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins. ​Stress Management: Stress can worsen both hormonal imbalances and skin conditions. Practices like meditation, yoga, and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can be beneficial. ​Sleep: Ensure adequate, restful sleep as it’s crucial for hormonal balance and skin repair. ​2. Herbal Remedies (Internal and External): ​Hair Reduction: ​Ubtan: A traditional herbal paste used for hair removal and skin brightening. It’s typically made with ingredients like chickpea flour, turmeric, and sandalwood. When applied regularly, it’s believed to weaken hair follicles over time.

​Herbs: Some herbs are traditionally used to support hormonal balance, which can help with hirsutism. These should be taken under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner.

​Acne: ​Neem: A powerful blood purifier with antibacterial properties. It can be used internally as a supplement or externally as a face mask.

​Turmeric: Known for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. It can be applied topically with honey or yogurt. ​Sandalwood: Has a cooling effect, which can help soothe Pitta-related inflammation and redness.

​3. External Applications (Face Packs and Masks): ​For Hair: Regular application of an Ubtan can help. The rubbing action can also exfoliate and prevent ingrown hairs. ​For Acne and Blackheads: ​Clay Masks: Clays like multani mitti (fuller’s earth) can draw out impurities and excess oil, helping with blackheads. ​Neem and Tulsi (Holy Basil) paste: A paste made from these herbs can be applied to active acne to reduce inflammation and fight bacteria.

​Exfoliation: Gentle exfoliation with natural ingredients like oats or lentil powder can help clear clogged pores.

​Important Considerations: ​Patience: Ayurvedic treatments are not a quick fix. They require consistency and patience to see results.

Acne is common at your age Don’t apply cream n all Give some time Meanwhile eat balance diet Drink plenty of fluids Do Yogasanas meditation Avoid oily fried spicy foods non vegetarian foods Apply aloveragel Sandalwood paste with rose water

To address facial hair, acne, and marks naturally, Ayurveda offers some potent solutions. Let’s first tackle the problem of unwanted hair. One effective Ayurvedic remedy for reducing facial hair is to use a paste made of turmeric and gram flour. Mix them with a little bit of water or milk to form a paste, apply on affected areas, and let it dry before gently scrubbing it off. Doing this regularly can help slow hair growth over time.

For acne and blackheads, the key lies in balancing your skin’s pH and clearing excess oil. A mixture of neem paste and tulsi (holy basil) leaves can be very effective. Apply this on the acne-prone areas and leave it for 20 minutes before washing off. These herbs have anti-bacterial properties that can help reduce acne occurrence.

Dealing with marks is equally important. Using natural treatments like sandalwood powder mixed with rose water can help lighten these marks over time. Apply it as a mask 2-3 times a week. Don’t expect immediate results as this requires consistent use over time.

Address your diet too: Eat a Pitta-pacifying diet to balance out the fire element that might be causing skin issues. Increase intake of cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and plenty of water to keep skin hydrated. Spicy, oily foods may aggravate your skin condition, so reduce these as much as possible.

Lastly, pay attention to daily routines. Cleansing your face gently twice a day and avoiding harsh soaps or scrubs is vital. Ensure you get adequate sleep and manage stress through yoga or meditation, as stress can contribute to hormonal imbalances affecting your skin.

Remember this is a gradual process. It’s important to maintain consistency and patience with these treatments. Results can vary, so not get discouraged if you don’t see immediate changes.

Facial hair, acne, and marks can often relate to imbalances in your body’s doshas, most likely an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha. In Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, natural solutions might help balance these imbalances and promote a healthy, clear complexion.

For acne and scars, try making a herbal paste using sandalwood powder and rose water. Apply this to your face, especially on acne-prone areas, and leave it on for about 15 minutes before gently washing it off with lukewarm water. Sandalwood is known for its anti-inflammatory and cooling properties which can help pacify aggravated Pitta. Using this remedy 3-4 times a week can help reduce breakouts and lighten scars over time.

For facial hair reduction, a paste made from turmeric and chickpea flour applied to the face may slow down hair growth over time. Mix a tablespoon of each with enough water to make a paste and apply it evenly on your face. Let it dry, then rub gently in the opposite direction of hair growth before rinsing off. Do this about 2-3 times a week.

Blackheads could result from clogged pores due to excess Kapha dosha. A gentle scrub made from oatmeal and yogurt can help. Use this scrub once a week. The lactic acid in the yoghurt helps in cleansing the pores.

Pay attention to your diet too. Reduce intake of fried, oily, or excessively spicy foods which can increase Pitta. Drinking warm water, herbal teas and avoiding cold drinks may help improve your digestive fire, or agni, and cleanse your system.

Remember to consult with your healthcare provider or an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice, especially given your age and active acne concerns.

Hlo Sam It looks like the acne, marks, and facial hair you’re experiencing may be due to hormonal imbalance. In some cases, this is seen in a condition called PCOS, where certain hormones become imbalanced, leading to:

Extra oil production in the skin (causing pimples and blackheads)

Slow healing of marks and pigmentation

Increased hair growth on the face and neck

From Ayurveda’s point of view, this happens because of an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, and changes in blood (Rakta) and fat tissue (Meda).

To confirm the cause, I suggest you get a USG Abdomen and Pelvis scan and TSH, free T3 and free T4. In treatment, Ayurvedic cleansing therapies like Virechana (therapeutic purgation) and Basti (medicated enema) can be very helpful for balancing hormones and improving skin.

For internal and external medicines, I can give you a complete plan after seeing your medical reports. I will also need to know about your menstrual cycle (whether periods are regular or not) because this will help decide the most suitable treatment for you.
