Doctors' responses

this condition is mainly due to Vata and Kapha imbalance, which causes dryness and blockage in the hair follicles. This leads to rough, hard bumps on the skin. Treatment focuses on reducing dryness and clearing blockage by using medicated oils for massage (Abhyanga), gentle exfoliation, and internal herbs to balance doshas. With regular care, the skin gradually becomes smoother, but it requires consistency. –Dx: Vata-Kapha dushti (Twak vikara) —internal: 1) Aimil Purodil – 1 tsp BD after food 2) khadirarisht 15 ml twice daily after meal with equal amount of water 3) gandhak rasyan 250 mg twice daily after meal External: 4) Kerala Ayurveda Nalpamaradi Keram – apply & massage (morning) 5) Aimil Exoskin Cream – local application (night) –Advice: Daily oil massage, avoid harsh scrubbing, use mild soap –Duration: 6–8 weeks Follow up after 1 month
