Seeking Natural Remedies for Acne and Scars - #52101

Client_69aa02

I have pretty bad acne. When I eat a lot of sugary and spicy stuff I breakout. Currently right now, I have acne on my forehead, near my nose on my cheeks, chest, and back. I am using Vicco turmeric in the US and also using homemade treatments such as dal powder, oats, dahi yogurt, turmeric, and honey. It does calm down it a lot but I still have acne scars. I would like to treat my acne and scars/ pigmentation with products that you can find at my Indian home in America.

–You have moderate to severe acne, which is why home remedies alone aren’t fully clearing it. Things like turmeric and yogurt can help calm the skin, but they don’t treat the root cause. Your breakouts are likely triggered by factors like excess oil, clogged pores, and diet—especially sugar, which you’ve noticed. I’d recommend continuing gentle natural care, but also adding a simple medicated product. –Internal Medicines: 1)Tab. Nimbadi Tablet 1 tablet twice daily after food 2)Mahamanjishtadi Kashayam 15 ml with equal water, twice daily before food — External Application: Nalpamaradi Keram Apply on face/body, leave 20 min, wash daily Ayurvedic Acne Soap For face, chest, back – twice daily —Pathya (Diet): Avoid: sugar, fried, spicy, junk food Take: light diet, fruits, vegetables, warm water – Follow-up: Review after 4 weeks

Namaste, Acne with breakouts on face, chest, and back, especially triggered by sugary and spicy foods, is usually related to internal heat, digestion imbalance, and hormonal factors. Simple measures that may help: Avoid excess sugar, spicy, fried, and processed foods, as you already noticed they trigger acne. Keep your diet simple, fresh, and balanced with fruits, vegetables, and enough water. Avoid frequent touching or picking acne, as it can worsen scars. Wash face 2 times daily with mild cleanser and keep skin clean but not over-dry. Use simple home remedies like multani mitti, turmeric, or sandalwood occasionally (not daily if skin is sensitive). For scars, patience is important as they fade gradually over time. Your current use of Vicco turmeric and gentle home packs is fine, just avoid overuse or too many combinations. Ayurvedic medicines sometimes used to support acne and skin healing include: Manjistha – traditionally used to support skin purification and reduce acne. Neem – commonly used to support skin health and reduce breakouts. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
