My son 13 yrs old having pimple on face and itching between thighs - #5892

For your 13-year-old son dealing with pimples and itching, Ayurveda offers natural solutions to address both issues. For the pimples, ensure his skin is clean by washing the face with a gentle, herbal face wash containing ingredients like neem or turmeric, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. You can apply aloe vera gel or sandalwood powder mixed with rose water to reduce pimples and soothe the skin. Internally, encourage him to consume foods rich in antioxidants, like amla (Indian gooseberry), and drink plenty of water.

For the itching between the thighs, this could be caused by fungal or bacterial infections, or simply irritation. Apply neem oil or tea tree oil (diluted) to the affected area, as both have antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Ensure he avoids tight clothing and maintains good hygiene. For relief from both conditions, you can also try giving him triphala internally to detoxify and balance his skin. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for further guidance if the conditions persist.

Those pesky pimples and that annoying itching, it sounds like your son’s going through some challenging times. Acne around this age is pretty common and usually points to hormonal changes and sometimes diet plays a role too. And that itching between his thighs might be a mix of friction or even a fungal infection perhaps.

For his face, consider a gentle approach. Encourage him to wash his face with lukewarm water twice every day using a mild, herbal cleanser. Avoid things with harsh chemicals. Neem-based products can be good, neem has natural antibacterial properties. And, through Chandan (sandalwood) powder mixed with rose water can be applied as a paste on the pimples. Leave it for about 15 minutes then wash off. It’s soothing and helps reduce inflammations.

For the itching, make sure his clothes are breathable, cotton is ideal, and they shouldn’t be too tight. A natural remedy is to dust a little bit of turmeric powder and pure aloe vera gel on the affected area. Aloe cools and turmeric acts against potential fungus or germs. If its fungal, getting an antifungal lotion might help but best to check with a practioner if it persists.

Diet plays a huge role too. Cutting down on oily or fried foods, and integrating more fruits like amla (Indian gooseberry), and veggies with high water content can be beneficial. Hydration is key, make sure he’s drinking plenty of water daily to flush out toxins.

Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala taken internally can improve digestion and reduce skin problems. But before starting anything new, always check with an ayurvedic specialist or his doctor to ensure no allergies or interactions especially for kids.

Patience is key, both for him and for you. The body takes time to adjust and heal naturally. If symptoms get worse or are not improving, it might be a good idea to see a doctor for a closer look.
