Yes, overuse of Panchavalkadi Taila can sometimes cause skin irritation, burning, redness, rash, or blistering — especially in people with dry and sensitive skin or when applied very frequently on open wounds. In Ayurveda, excessive application may aggravate Pitta and Vata locally. Since you are getting blistering and rash, stop using it temporarily and keep the area clean and dry. Best Ayurvedic way to use: Apply only a thin layer 1–2 times daily. Use on clean wounds after gentle washing. Avoid rubbing or applying on severely inflamed/open infected skin. Do a small patch test before restarting. For dry sensitive skin, mixing a few drops with pure coconut oil may reduce irritation. For soothing healing, you may use: Jatyadi Taila or pure aloe vera gel in small quantity. Drink enough water and avoid very spicy, sour, and fried foods to reduce Pitta aggravation.
