From what you describe, it does sound like you’ve been dealing with a rather persistent skin condition. It’s possible that you may be dealing with dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis, but of course, a proper diagnosis from a healthcare professional is important to pinpoint the exact issue. Arnopen Ointment, while potentially helpful for some, might not have been addressing the root cause of your specific skin issue. It’s possible it provided some initial symptomatic relief, but without targeting the underlying imbalance, long-term resolution can be elusive.
In Siddha-Ayurveda, persistent skin problems may often be linked to an imbalance of doshas—particularly an excess in Vata or Pitta dosha. Vata imbalance can lead to dry, rough skin, whereas Pitta imbalance can cause inflammation and itchiness. Addressing these doshas holistically could prove beneficial. Here are some suggestions:
1. Start by calming Vata dosha. Keep the skin hydrated with natural oils like sesame or coconut oil. Applying these oils directly to the affected areas after showering could help lock in moisture. Ensure to do this daily.
2. Consider your diet as it’s vital in maintaining dosha balance. Favor warm, cooked meals with healthy fats (like ghee), and avoid cold, dry, or processed foods that can aggravate Vata. Drinking herbal teas like ginger or licorice can also support your internal balance.
3. Introducing herbs known for calming and cooling effects, such as neem or turmeric, might assist in managing excess Pitta. You can create a paste by mixing turmeric with sandalwood and applying it to the rough patches.
However, if the condition persists, make it a priority to consult a dermatologist. Chronic conditions, if not tended to properly, can lead to more complications. While natural remedies can support underlying processes, some require more medical intervention, and determining that is crucial to your treatment’s success.
