Q: Should I stop using make-up?

Q: Can I pop my pimples?

Pimples (Yuvan Pidika)

Why Do Pimples Keep Coming Back?

Acne appears when the skin's pores get blocked with oil and dead skin, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and sometimes painful cysts. It is common in teenagers, but many adults - especially women - also get acne.

In Ayurveda, pimples are called Yuvan Pidika or Mukhadushika and are linked mainly to Pitta and Kapha imbalance. Our doctors look at hormones, digestion, diet and skincare, so that the acne is treated from the inside as well as on the skin.

Common Causes

What Causes Acne?

01

Hormonal Changes

Puberty, periods, pregnancy and PCOS can increase oil production.

02

Oily Skin & Blocked Pores

Excess oil and dead skin block pores and trap bacteria.

03

Diet & Digestion

Oily, spicy or sugary food and poor digestion can make acne worse for some people.

04

Stress & Poor Sleep

Stress hormones and irregular sleep often lead to breakouts.

05

Cosmetics

Heavy creams and make-up that block pores can trigger pimples.

06

Touching & Squeezing

Picking pimples spreads infection and leaves marks and scars.

Our Ayurvedic Approach

Your plan depends on the type and severity of your acne and its cause. It may include:

Internal medicines: Ayurvedic herbs that support blood purification, digestion and hormonal balance
Face packs (lepa): herbal pastes chosen for your skin type, used as directed
PCOS & hormones: if irregular periods or PCOS are linked to your acne, these are treated too - see our PCOS treatment
Diet: reducing foods that worsen your acne and improving digestion
Skincare routine: a simple daily routine that keeps pores clean without irritating the skin

Acne usually improves over several weeks. Old acne scars change slowly and may need longer treatment.
