worsening condition after starting a treatment can sometimes happen if the body is reacting to the treatment or if the underlying imbalance (such as Pitta and Kapha dosha imbalance) is not fully addressed. Here are Ayurvedic remedies for ringworm infections:
Herbal Remedies for Skin Infections:
Neem: Neem is a powerful herb known for its antimicrobial properties. You can apply neem oil or make a paste from crushed neem leaves and apply it to the affected areas. Neem is particularly effective in controlling fungal infections like ringworm.
Turmeric: The active compound curcumin in turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. Make a paste with turmeric powder and water and apply it to the ringworm. Turmeric milk (golden milk) is also beneficial internally.
Aloe Vera: Aloe vera gel is soothing and can help reduce the itching and redness caused by ringworm. It can also support the healing process.
Tea Tree Oil: Known for its antifungal properties, tea tree oil can be applied to the infected areas. Dilute it with a carrier oil like coconut oil before use.
Ayurvedic Internal Remedies:
Haridra (Turmeric): Consuming turmeric internally is beneficial for treating fungal infections. Mix it with warm water or milk and drink it daily.
Triphala: This is another beneficial internal remedy for improving skin health and eliminating toxins from the body.
Dietary Recommendations:
Avoid foods that are acidic, spicy, and oily, as they can aggravate Pitta dosha, which may worsen the infection.
Focus on foods that are cooling and soothing like coconut, ghee, and leafy greens.
Caution with Mahatiktalepam:
Mahatiktalepam is an Ayurvedic ointment used for skin infections, but it might cause a reaction if not suitable for your body type or if used in excess. If the condition worsens, it might be best to stop using it and consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a tailored remedy.

It sounds like you're having a pretty tough time with this ringworm infection. It's possible that the initial reaction to the ointment, like Mahatiktalepam, could've been pretty strong, maybe even triggering a flare-up as the body’s responding. Ayurveda views skin issues often as an imbalance in Pitta dosha, sometimes with Kapha involvement too, causing heat and moisture that fungi (like ringworm) love.
First off, stop using the Mahatiktalepam for now. You got to ensure it's not making things worse, yeah? Maybe take a pause and see if removing it helps to calm your skin a bit. It's key to patch test before continuing treatment, especially if it’s spreading like you’ve reported.
For cleansing internally, start by looking at your diet — avoid spicy, sour, and fermented foods that could aggravate Pitta. So, cut out stuff like chilies, pickles, or yogurt for a bit. Drink warm water or herbal teas, like coriander or guduchi tea, through the day to keep things cool and for a gentle detox.
One good external remedy is coconut oil, cooled down by adding a bit of turmeric powder – apply gently to the skin to soothe the irritation, and antifungal benefits. Let it sit for about 30 minutes before gently washing it off.
Many find Neem leaves useful. You can make a paste from fresh neem leaves if accessible, applying once or twice a day for its antibacterial properties.
If it doesn't show signs of calming within a week or so, better to check in with a local Ayurvedic practitioner, they can see the exact state of things in-person. Remember, severe conditions sometimes need a mix of approaches.
Please, if any sign of systemic infection (fever, severe irritation) kicks in, make sure to get to a professional for urgent care. We don't want things escalating further, right?
