Forehead pimples and resulting dark spots are often linked to digestive imbalances and excess heat, indicating Pitta and Vata aggravation. Focus on cleansing your system by incorporating a Pitta-pacifying diet, emphasizing cooling and light foods like cucumber, leafy greens, and moong dal. Drinking warm water infused with a pinch of turmeric can help detoxify the blood. For topical care, apply a paste of sandalwood and rose water to calm inflammation and reduce pigmentation. Avoid heavy, oily, or processed foods, and ensure regular bowel movements to support clear skin.

Forehead pimples can be such a nuisance, right? They're often a reflection of what's going on inside our bodies. In Ayurveda, they're usually seen as a sign of excess Pitta dosha—think of it as too much heat and oil. First things first, let's cool things down a bit.
Try applying a paste made from sandalwood powder mixed with rose water directly onto the pimples. This combo is super calming and helps reduce Pitta imbalance. Apply it in evening n let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Gentle is key here, no harsh scrubbing.
You might also wanna look at your diet. Eating too many spicy or oily foods can flare up Pitta, so cut back on those if you can. Favor cooling and hydrating foods like cucumber, leafy greens, and melons. Little tweaks like sipping on cool coconut water can be refreshing and calming for the system.
Maintain a regular eating schedule cuz our digestive fire (agni) thrives on consistency. Skipping meals or irregular eating can throw everything off balance. Also, ensure you stay hydrated but avoid icy cold drinks since they can douse your digestive fire.
Stress is another biggie. Incorporate some relaxation practices like breathing exercises or yoga. Just simple things like taking deep breaths or spending 10 minutes in meditation each day can really help calm the mind and body.
For black spots, try a turmeric mask—mix a pinch of turmeric powder with yogurt and apply to the spots. Turmeric's famed for it's skin-brightening properties. Leave it for about 10-12 minutes and wash it gently.
Consistency, not perfection, is your buddy here. If things don’t improve or if they get worse, don't wait. See a dermatologist; sometimes underlying conditions need more precise interventions.
