Your acne and dark spots look like a combination of Yuvan Pidika (acne) with excess Pitta-Kapha imbalance in Ayurveda. Since your skin is sensitive and breakouts keep recurring, treatment should focus on gentle cleansing, blood purification, and reducing inflammation naturally. Ayurvedic Care Advice Continue a mild face wash like Sebamed twice daily only. Avoid over-washing. Apply a thin layer of Kumkumadi tailam or Nalparamadi oil at night for dark spots (patch test first). For active acne, use Multani mitti + rose water paste 2 times weekly. Avoid oily, spicy, fried foods, excess dairy, junk food, and late-night sleeping. Drink 2–3 litres of water daily and include fresh fruits, cucumber, neem, and leafy vegetables. Do not squeeze or touch pimples frequently, as it increases marks and bumps. Manage stress with proper sleep, yoga, or pranayama because stress can aggravate acne. Internal Ayurvedic Support medicines like: Mahamanjishtadi Kwath Khadirarishta Gandhak Rasayan may help in reducing recurring acne and improving skin clarity.
For acne, tiny bumps and dark spots with recurrent flare-up, use a Kapha-Pitta pacifying regimen: Internal medicines Mahamanjishtadi Kwath 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food Khadirarishta 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet twice daily after food External Wash face 2 times daily only; avoid overwashing Apply pure aloe vera gel at night For dark spots: apply paste of sandalwood + rose water 3 times weekly Diet Avoid fried food, excess dairy, whey protein, sugary foods and late-night sleep Drink warm water and keep bowels clear
