Acne Vulgaris is referred to as Mukha Dooshika or Yauvana Pidika in Ayurveda. It is one of the most common problems faced by youngsters. In teenage, extra sebum is produced by the sebaceous gland due to hormonal changes and when the openings of sebaceous glands get blocked with dirt or other substances, it gives rise to acne or pimples. An increase in Vata, Kapha, Rakta and Medha dhatu facilitates the problem. Improper diet, blood impurity and other internal factors also cause acne and pimples. Ayurveda can effectively treat this disorder.

Home remedies you can try:

1. The paste made of cumin seeds applied over the pimples gives relief. For a single application, 5gm of cumin seeds is sufficient to prepare the paste. After one hour, the application can be removed.
2. The paste of 5gm each of red sandalwood and turmeric made with milk is a very efficacious local application.

Consult a qualified Ayurvedic doctor to get a complete solution.

Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations:

1. Wash frequently with good quality face wash (not soap).
2. Do not prick or squeeze the pimples with bare fingers.
3. Use a special blackhead-extractor.
4. Avoid excessive fatty & oily food stuff.
