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.

Hello, Your pattern (acne and dark spots ) in Ayurveda usually points to pitta (inflammation , redness, marks) + kapha (oily clogging, recurring acne) with some ama (toxins from digestion) involvement. so we treat inside + outside + routine Internal management 1) Neem capsules= 1 cap twice daily after meals =supports skin purification, reduces acne tendency 2) Mahatiktakam kashaya tablets= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =classical support for pitta skin issues 3) Triphala tablets= 2 tabs at night with warm water =supports digestion +detox (helps prevent new breakouts) 4) Sarivadyasava= 15ml + warm water twice daily after meals =best for skin problems Daily skin care routine Morning -gentle face wash (avoid harsh scrubbing) -apply light moiturizer (non oily) -use sunscreen (very important for pigmentation) Night -cleanse properly remove dirt/oil -spot care for active acne (dont sqeeuze) Weekly 3 times/week -face pack using neem + turmeric powder with warm water apply thin layer Diet big impact on acne Avoid= fried food, excess sugar, bakery junk -reduce= very spicy, oily food Include -warm home food -green vegetables -plenty of water If digestion is off-> acne will keep coming back Lifestyle -don’t touch/pick pimples-> prevents dark spots -proper sleep (late nights worsen acne) -manage stress (hormonal acne link) When to expect results? -2-4 weeks= fewer new pimples -6-8 weeks= reduced inflammation -2-3 months= pigmentation starts improving Painful cystic acne + pigmentation may sometimes need hormonal check like PCOD, stress hormones Avoid using too many products at once Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
