Sticky skin syndrome when caused due to medication,can be improved with reducing the dosage or switching medication. Start with Neem ghanvati 1-0-1 after food with water Laghu suthshekhar ras 1-0-1 after food with water Gandhak rasayan 1-0-1 after food with water. Neem oil+ manjistadi oil mix apply on skin can keep overnight. Avoid spicy fried foods

Understanding your experiences with acquired cutaneous adherence syndrome, it’s crucial to explore how Ayurveda might assist in managing your symptoms. Ayurveda sees this condition through the lens of dosha imbalances, particularly an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, contributing to unusual skin conditions and body odor.
First, addressing diet is essential. Emphasize a Pitta-Kapha pacifying diet—favor light, warm, and easily digested meals to support your digestive fire (Agni). Avoid excessively oily, fried, and spicy foods they can aggravate Pitta. Incorporate foods like green leafy vegetables, whole grains, and fruits like apples and pears. Hydration with warm water and herbal teas, especially those with neem or coriander, can help with detoxification.
Secondly, daily routines should include dry brushing (garshana) before bath to gently exfoliate skin and improve lymph flow, but avoid harsh abrasives. Incorporating practices like yoga and pranayama can help balance the body’s energy. Focus on poses like trikonasana or Matsyasana which can improve circulation and reduce overall stress levels affecting skin conditions.
As for topical applications, consider using cooling yet absorbant powders such as sandalwood or multani mitti (fuller’s earth) after bathing. These can help with excessive sweating and reduce odor. Try a topical herbal paste made from neem and turmeric, known for their antimicrobial properties, applied gently to the skin. Ensure these applications are gentle and moisturize well afterward, maybe with a light oil like almond after absorption.
If stress is a contributing factor, incorporate meditation or guided relaxation for calming the mind, addressing one possible root of imbalance. Ensure regular sleep pattern and adequate rest, to support physical stability.
Lastly, regular consultation with Ayurvedic practitioner is advised. This ensures the path to balance is tracked accurately and any changes in your regimen can be efficiently adapted. Immediate medical evaluation might be necessary if symptoms progress, ensuring safety is prioritized above all.
Addressing the symptoms you’re experiencing, such as unusually adhesive skin and excessive sweating with odor, calls for a nuanced approach rooted in Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. These symptoms may be related to an imbalance of doshas—specifically, excess Pitta, which is linked with bodily fluids and heat, contributing to perspiration and odor.
To help manage this, consider adjustments to your diet and lifestyle practices. Emphasize cooling and hydrating foods, such as cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens, to help balance Pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods that may exacerbate sweating and skin issues. Incorporating coriander, cumin, and fennel into your meals can aid in digestion and detoxification, supporting better skin health.
Incorporate Triphala into your daily routine; this Ayurvedic herbal formulation aids in detoxification and promotes healthy skin. Mix half a teaspoon with warm water, and take it at night before bed. Apply a paste made from sandalwood and rose water on the skin to provide cooling effects and reduce stickiness. This combination soothes Pitta and mitigates odor.
Make a tea from fenugreek seeds to further cleanse your system—one teaspoon soaked overnight, boil in water, and drink in the morning. Meanwhile, embrace regular yoga and meditation to manage stress, as emotional stress can exacerbate Pitta-related issues.
However, given that your condition persists and relates to systematics imbalances, it’s vital to consult an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can evaluate your Prakriti and tailor a detailed pogram accordingly. Do explore modern medical support if symptoms intensify or interfere with daily life, since integrated approaches can be crucial.
