Persistent Groin Rash and Digestive Issues After Antibiotics - #35549
I’m a 52 male and went to the doctor back in January this year and was prescribed a 12 day round of antibiotics. On about day 7, I noticed a strong itch and rash starting in my groin region. By day 12 it was completely inflamed. Fast forward to today, I have seen multiple doctors and have been prescribed everything from home remedy creams to steroids, with no relief. My digestion system has become very sensitive to a lot of foods and drinks and I can feel the inflammation. I must also mention I suffer from a lot of flatulence after just about every meal. I’m not sure what to do at this point but I feel my whole system needs a reset or bring back to balance. Would sootshekhar rams and gandhak rasayan be something to consider for calming my system down?

Hello Eric Hill Thank you for reaching out and sharing this in such a detail detailed way What your experiencing is actually quite common after strong antibiotic course -they often disrupt the gut, microbiome, weak digestion and lead to systemic information that can later appear as skin, rashes, itching, and food sensitivity In Ayurveda, this is seen as imbalance of pitta and vata along with accumulation of ama ( toxic resdue) due to disturbed digestion
Yes both soothashekara ras and Gandhak rasayana are appropriate in your case But the main focus right now should be calming the digestive fire clearing, accumulated toxins and rebuilding cut strength before directive working on skin inflammation You can start - Soothashekara rasa 1-0– Gandhak rasayana 1-0-1 Arogyavardini vati 1-0-1 Avipattikara churna 1/2-0-1/2 tsp before meals with water Triphala churna 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime Drink plenty of fluids Avoid spicy, l sour fermented, oily food cold drinks processed foods bakery items Apply Alovera gel/ coconut oil Avoid steroid based creams
