It appears that despite treatment for your fungal infection, symptoms persist. Considering your S.L.E. condition and ongoing medication, any addition to your regimen should be approached cautiously. Addressing the root cause and soothing your symptoms through a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective might offer some relief, but consulting with your healthcare provider before starting new remedies is crucial.
For the fungal infection and itching, try applying a paste made from turmeric and neem leaves. Both have antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Blend fresh neem leaves with a pinch of turmeric and apply the paste to affected areas. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. Do this daily for possible relief.
Additionally, increasing garlic in your diet could be beneficial because of its natural antifungal abilities. Consuming a clove of raw garlic daily, finely chopped and mixed into food, can support your immune response. Ensure it does not interfere with your medications or digestive comfort.
Itching often worsens at night due to increased vata dosha activity. Creating habit of warm oil massage with sesame oil before bathing can help balance vata and soothe skin. Keep skin moisturized with coconut oil after showering to maintain hydration and protect against further irritation.
Remember, it’s essential to continue your prescribed treatments and check in with your healthcare provider to confirm compatibility of these suggestions with your current medical condition and treatments.
