hello dodke yash hanmant , I hear you. Pimples for 3 years, especially when they leave marks and holes, can really affect confidence. Let me explain this simply for you.

Your pimples are reacting whenever you eat rice, which shows your digestion (agni) is not handling certain foods well, leading to more “heat + stickiness” inside (Pitta + Kapha aggravation). That makes pus-filled pimples that leave holes. Not using soap is fine, but the skin also needs gentle care, not just leaving it alone.

1. First line (Ama pachana & Agni correction – for 10–14 days): Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water at night (to cool down stomach heat). Hingvastaka Churna – 1 pinch before food with warm water (to improve digestion and reduce bloating/indigestion).

2. Internal Medicines (after 2 weeks, continue for 2–3 months):

Manjishtadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water, twice daily before food. Gandhaka Rasayana – 1 tablet twice daily with honey (improves skin healing, reduces pus).

3. External Care: Wash face with green gram powder (pasi payaru) or kasthuri manjal once daily – very mild cleanser. Apply Aloe vera fresh gel at night thinly. Once weekly, apply neem + turmeric paste just for 10 minutes, then wash.

4. Diet & Lifestyle Advice: Avoid curd, oily fried food, and cold drinks. Reduce rice at night, try wheat, millet, or light rice gruel instead. Take more vegetables, bitter foods (like methi, neem, patola). Drink 8–10 glasses of warm water daily. Sleep well, avoid late nights – stress worsens pimples.

5. Investigations (to be safe): Blood sugar (FBS/PPBS) Hormone profile (if periods are irregular) Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 Friendly Note for You

Pimples that last 3 years with marks mean they need both inside and outside healing. Just applying creams won’t work if digestion and blood impurities are not corrected.

Ayurveda has very safe and natural ways to clear this. It will take a few months, but once your stomach and blood are balanced, your skin will naturally glow. Don’t worry – these holes can also reduce with proper healing and some Ayurvedic lepas later.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO YASH,

You’re 19, with pimples persisting for 3 years. They fit with pus after eating rice and leave holes (scars) when they burst . This means -Pitta agrravation= heat, redness, inflammation, pus -Kapha aggravation= stickiness, clogged pores, white pus -Rakta dhatu dushti= recurring boils, poor healing - Agnimandya (weak digestion)= certain food like rice don’t digest fully, creating ama (toxins) that circulate in the blood and show up as pimples

So the root issues is internal imbalance, not just skin surface dirt, That’s why soap or face wash alone isn’t solving it.

TREATMENT GOALS -correct digestion and metabolism(agni)= stop toxins from forming -purify blood= reduce pus and new breakouts - balance pitta + kapha= control oiliness and inflammation -heals scars and improve complexion -support long term skin health with diet, lifestyle, and stress control

PHASE WISE TREATMENT PLAN

PHASE 1= DETOX AND AMA PACHANA (first 5 days)

-Chitrakadi Vati= 2 tabs twice daily after meals

-Hingwastaka churna = 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals

On 6th day morning empty stomach 6 am take 50 gm of Trivrut leha with milk After this you will observe loose stools for 10-15 times , this will detox your whole body and remove excess pitta and kapha during procedure until loose motions stops kindly dont take any food just have lukewarm water

After motions stop completely have light digestible food like khichdi, rice gruel only for that day

this procedure is called virechana= removes excess pitta from liver, intestines, and blood

FROM 7TH DAY START PHASE 2 MEDICINES

1) NIMBA GHAN VATI= 500mg twice daily after meals -purifies blood, antimicrobial

2) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =detoxifies skin, reduces pus, enhances healing

3) MANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily before meals =cleanses blood, reduces scars

4) ARIGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =balances liver, digestion, pitta

5) KHADIRARISHTA= 15ml with water after meals for long term detox

DURATION= 3 months minimum with consistency

PHASE 3= EXTERNAL CARE

1) FACE CLEANSING= wash with lukewarm water only, avoid harsh soaps

2) PASTE APPLICATION -Neem + Turmeric + Multani mitti paste weekly for pimples -Aloe vera gel (fresh) at night to cool and heal -Kumkumadi Taila at night on scars only-> for dullness and pigmenttion

=Keeps pores open, kills bacteria naturally supports healing without chemicals

PHASE 4= Lifestyle and Diet -Sleep= 10-11pm bedtime, 7-8 hrs sleep. Late night worsens pitta

-Avoid= daytime sleeping, junk for, fried/oily excess rice, dairy especially curd at night, non-veg, excess sugar, aerated drinks

FAVOUR -barley, wheat, millet instead of rice -green leafy vegetables, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, cucumber -fruits= amla , pomegranate , papaya -Spices= coriander, cumin, turmeric, fennel

HYDRATION -drink warm water or coriander water; avoid iced/cold drinks

PHASE 5= YOGA AND PRANAYAM

YOGA ASANAS -sarvangasana -matsyasana -bhujangasana =improves circulation and hormonal balance

PRANAYAM -Sheetali/sheetkri= cools pitta -Anulom vilom= balances doshas, reduces stress

WHY= stress and hormonal imbalance are major triggers to young adults

HOME REMEDIES -Apply paste of neem leaves or turmeric + sandalwood on pimples -Drink amla juice 20 ml daily= natural blood puriifier -Use honey + cinnamon paste as a spot application occasionally -Steam inhalation once a week with neem leaves in water-> open pores, clears toxins

-Pimples that last this long aren’t just " skin deep". They’re signal from inside- your digestion, blood and ifestyle -Ayurveda doesn’t just dr pimples; it corrects the root -Expect improvement in 6-12 weeks with consistent treatment, but scars may take longer time to fade like 3-6 months -Be patient and regular. Avoid picking/sqeeuzing pimples- that’s why the hols/scars are forming

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

The persistent nature of your pimples, along with their reaction to certain foods, suggests an imbalance in your body, which can be addressed through Ayurveda. Your situation seems to point to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which often causes skin issues like acne, particularly related to diet.

Start by focusing on your diet to pacify Pitta. Since rice seems to trigger your symptoms, try reducing your intake and observe the response. Aim to include cooling and Pitta-balancing foods - cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Instead of rice, opt for alternatives like quinoa or barley, which are less likely to aggravate Pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy-to-digest foods, as they can foster excess heat in the body.

Hydrate yourself with plenty of water, maybe infused with a few mint leaves to cool down from the inside. Include herbal teas like coriander or fennel to aid digestion and reduce internal heat. Also, consider triphala powder before bedtime, as it’s excellent for cleansing the body and promoting healthy skin.

Externally, although you’re not using soap, cleansing the face with a mild, natural cleanser such as chickpea flour mixed with a bit of turmeric can be beneficial. This natural mixture gently cleans your skin without causing irritation. Apply sandalwood paste mixed with rose water on your face a few times a week, as it helps in soothing inflammation and lightening acne marks.

Lifestyle plays a crucial role - ensure you’re getting enough sleep, as deprivation increases stress and can exacerbate skin conditions. Practice yoga or meditation regularly to help reduce stress, which impacts Pitta equilibrium, as well as breathe deeply to improve circulation.

If there’re no significant improvement in a few weeks, it’s prudent to consult a professional Ayurvedic practitioner who can assess your condition more accurately and prescribe personalized treatments.

The persistent pimples and dullness on your face may be linked to an imbalance of the doshas, potentially aggravated by specific dietary factors. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, skin conditions like pimples often indicate an imbalance in the pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body. Eating rice, which is considered heavy and can increase kapha, might be exacerbating your symptoms.

To address this, consider implementing a few dietary and lifestyle changes. Start by reducing the intake of spicy, oily, and heavy foods, as they can further aggravate pitta. Include more cooling and lighter foods like cucumber, coconut, and leafy greens. They can help balance pitta and soothe the system.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep the system hydrated, as good hydration supports healthy skin. You can add a pinch of turmeric to warm water and consume it in the morning; turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory properties and can help purify blood.

In terms of skincare, since you are avoiding soap, you might try a gentle, natural cleanser like chickpea flour mixed with rosewater. This can help cleanse the skin without the harshness of chemical soaps. Plain yogurt can also be a mild, soothing mask—just leave it on the skin for 10 minutes before rinsing.

Furthermore, focusing on stress-management practices like meditation or yoga may help, as stress often aggravates skin issues. Ensure you have regular sleep, as adequate rest supports the body’s natural healing processes.

If you don’t see improvement or notice worsening symptoms, it would be wise to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner who can assess your dosha balance more precisely and offer tailored guidance. Keep in mind that chronic skin conditions may require comprehensive lifestyle changes and persistence over time for healing.
