Skin issues can be a menace, bothering people for days or months together. It could flare up due to an incompatible food item or by drinking a beverage on a hungry stomach, or even a depressing thought. The friend in disguise could be a steroid-based topical ointment, which makes the skin rash vanish quickly, but nevertheless shows up the rash very soon again. These steroids may seem to do good, instead they are suppressing the complete recovery from taking place. Do you want a quick but relapsing remedy or a long-lasting remedy? you decide.
According to Ayurveda classics, Twacha (Skin), Rakta (Blood cells), Yakrut (Liver) are all inter-related. A healthy blood picture reflects a healthy skin. The life-span of a Red blood corpuscle is approximately 120 days. This gives us roughly 3 to 4 months time required to heal any skin disorder (keeping in mind the prescribed diet and medicines are being followed).
Long-term usage of steroids may lead to thinning of skin, hyper or hypo pigmentation. In some rare cases, hair follicles can get infected too.
From my experience in handling dermatological cases is that herbal or herbo-mineral oral and topical medications have proven excellent in treating many skin disorders, along with dietary modifications for a minimum of 3-4 months with very less chances of relapse.
