Skin Disorders

Skin disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the skin, from minor irritations to serious diseases. Here are some common types of skin disorders:

• Acne: A common skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, often occurring on the face, chest, and back.
• Eczema (Dermatitis): An inflammatory skin condition causing itching, redness, and sometimes blistering. Types include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis.
• Psoriasis: A chronic autoimmune condition causing rapid skin cell turnover, resulting in thick, red patches covered with silvery scales.
• Fungal Infections: Examples include athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections, characterized by itching, redness, and sometimes scaling.
• Hives (Urticaria): Red, itchy welts on the skin caused by an allergic reaction or other triggers, such as stress or infections.
• Cold Sores (Herpes Simplex Virus): Painful blisters around the mouth caused by the herpes simplex virus. They can also occur on the genitals (genital herpes).
• Warts: Viral infections causing small, rough growths on the skin, often on the hands and feet.
• Vitiligo: A pigmentation disorder where white patches appear on different parts of the body.

The Ayurvedic approach to treating skin problems focuses on eliminating the root causes. All treatments aimed at curing skin disorders emphasize complete penetration and detoxification to restore skin health.
