I know the concept of ayurveda is treatment on root cause. And I really appreciate that. My question is I got severe skin allergy on face last year. So my doctor gave me mild steroid cream for two weeks. Before I got skin allergy I used kumkumadi tailam for months. But after this steroid cream I tried to use it but my face swell and got red all over the applied area. After taking antibiotics it stopped. But wish to know the reason behind this? Thanks in advance. ❤️from kerala.

How long did the skin allergy last before you sought treatment?:

- More than a month

Have you noticed any specific triggers for your skin reactions?:

- Certain foods

What is your current skincare routine after the allergy?:

- No specific routine

-Your skin allergy lasted long, so your skin barrier was already weak. The steroid cream calmed the rash but made the skin more sensitive and thin. When you re-applied Kumkumadi Tailam, your skin—now sensitized—reacted strongly, causing redness and swelling (contact dermatitis). Antibiotics helped because there was secondary infection, not because the oil suited you. -Kumkumadi is too strong for inflamed or post-steroid skin Certain foods likely kept Pitta/inflammation high Same product that once suited you can later cause allergy -For now: avoid oils on face, keep skincare minimal, and only reintroduce products after weeks of calm skin—with patch testing. ----***Internal (Shamana – gentle) 1)Guduchi tablet – 1 tab once daily after food (Rakta shodhaka, immune calming) 2)Sarivadyasava – 10 ml + equal water, once daily after lunch (Cooling, skin-friendly) 3)Avipattikara churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water (Pitta regulation, gut support) ⚠️ Avoid strong kashayams or detox medicines now. —External (Face – very important) -No Kumkumadi Tailam -No oils / lepams on face -If needed only: Rose water (pure, no fragrance) – light application once daily -Pathya (Diet – essential) Prefer: rice kanji, green gram, cooked vegetables, coconut water -Avoid: spicy, sour, fermented foods, pickles, seafood + curd combo Reduce sun exposure & heat -Follow-up External oils only after skin is calm for 4–6 weeks Always patch test before face use

You were using Kumkumadi tailam. It is oily, nourishing and increases Pitta & Kapha slightly in sensitive people if digestion and skin metabolism (Rakta & Pitta balance) are not proper. When allergy happened It indicates Pitta + Rakta dushti After using steroid cream Steroids suppress symptoms quickly. Skin becomes more sensitive and reactive. When you reused Kumkumadi tailam Skin already had hidden Pitta/Rakta imbalance. Oil application increased reaction → swelling, redness. Antibiotics helped because they reduced infection/inflammation temporarily, but root imbalance may still exist. Take Mahamanjisthadi kwath–20ml bd blood purifier Khadirarishta –20ml bd helpful in skin allergy Guduchi tablets 1tab bd– reduces inflammation & improves immunity Avoid Spicy, oily, fried food Excess sour items Pickles, junk food Very hot foods and tea/coffee excess
