1. Gandhak Rasayan Dosage: 2 tablets twice daily. Time: After meals with warm water. 2. Mahamanjisthadi Kwath Dosage: 15 ml mixed with 15 ml of warm water. Time: Twice daily, after meals. ✓External Therapy Stop All Creams & Moisturizers: You must starve the fungus of moisture. Keep the affected areas on your face completely dry. Neem & Triphala Wash: Boil 1 tablespoon of Triphala powder and a handful of fresh or dried Neem leaves in 2 glasses of water until it reduces to half. Strain it, let it cool, and use this medicinal water to wash your face 2-3 times a day. Triphala is highly astringent (drying) and Neem is intensely antibacterial. ✓Dietary Correction You cannot cure a fungal skin infection if your diet is feeding it. Strictly avoid all fermented foods, yogurt (curd), excessive salt, sour fruits and refined sugar. These create a damp-heat (Pitta-Kapha) environment in the gut, which fuels fungal overgrowth. Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

Namaste, Your concern — persistent fungal or bacterial infection on the face not responding well to creams or pills — indicates underlying skin imbalance with pitta-kapha involvement and possibly reduced skin immunity. The focus should be on reducing infection, controlling inflammation, and improving skin resistance gently. Avoid oily, spicy, sugary, and processed foods, as they can worsen skin infections. Keep the face clean and dry. Avoid heavy creams and makeup. Do not touch or scratch the affected area. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet, twice daily after food (if digestion is good) Neem Tablets – 1 tablet, twice daily after food Avipattikar Churna – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water External care: Apply neem paste (neem powder + water) on affected area once daily You can also use a paste of turmeric + sandalwood powder with rose water, 2–3 times a week These are traditionally used to reduce infection, purify the skin, and control inflammation when combined with proper care. Avoid mixing too many products on the skin. If lesions are spreading rapidly or not improving, proper clinical examination is important to confirm whether it is fungal or bacterial, as treatment may differ. Improvement can be seen gradually over a few weeks with consistent care. Consultation can help tailor this further to your needs.
