How to treat lichen planus on scrotum and eczema on legs with Ayurvedic medicine and oil? - #52608

Hi! I’m an assistant to the Ask Ayurveda doctors. I’ve carefully reviewed your question.

I will explain your symptoms through the Ayurvedic perspective so you understand what is happening in your body as a whole.

Lichen planus and eczema are viewed in Ayurveda as imbalances primarily involving the Pitta and Kapha doshas. The inflammation and redness associated with these conditions indicate a Pitta imbalance, which is characterized by heat and irritation in the body. On the other hand, the dryness and scaling often seen in eczema suggest a Vata imbalance, while any oozing or heaviness could point towards Kapha involvement.

These skin conditions are often linked to internal factors such as weak digestion (Agni) and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body. When digestion is impaired, undigested food particles can form Ama, which circulates in the system and deposits in the skin, leading to disorders like eczema and lichen planus.

Ayurveda sees these symptoms as part of a systemic imbalance rather than isolated issues. The health of your skin is closely connected to your digestive system, stress levels, and overall lifestyle. Addressing these factors holistically can help restore balance and improve your skin health.
