Your skin condition is due to an imbalance of Vata and Kapha dosha, causing dryness and blockage in the hair follicles. This leads to rough bumps and uneven skin tone. Treatment focuses on balancing these doshas through proper moisturizing (snehana), gentle exfoliation, and internal cleansing if needed. –Treatment: 1.
