Provide Ayurvedic Treatment For Hypersensitive Rashes And Atopic Dermatitis
Question: Hello, Had a visit to my primary care doctor twice within week, will see a dermatologist soon. Also recovering from cold/flu with sinusitis and just finished a course of Amoxicillin. Have been home for a week and rash is finally beginning to subside. Stopped taking Triamcinoine Acetone for the itchy skin rash, this medicine seemed to have made the rash worse. I am still getting more bites but not as inflamed and currently take at night Hydroxyzine which seems to help decrease the swelling and itchness. However, concerned still have a couple of new bites and/or increased rash. I just noticed around the same time of the year, beginning 2012 every other year or so. I have had severe rashes before, either had hives or some unknown allergy rash. At this point, I want to work on this current rash using Ayurveda medicines to heal and prevent future illness and hoping to get to the root of the problem. Thank you for your time.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
After reviewing your health query I'm of the following opinion:
1. As you have already taken the opinion of the eminent physician over this platform, who have diagnosed it as atopic dermatitis/hypersensitivity rashes, so it could be the possibility, however, a direct physical examination with your attending Physician/dermatologist is necessary to exclude any other cause of such an acute etiology.
PS. As there is a history of taking amoxicillin, so it could be due to the ADR [adverse drug reaction] of the drug, and because the rash has resurfaced one has to exclude any other cause of the same like:
. use of drugs (aspirin,morphine, insulin, sulpha drugs)
. food-induced (common and recurrent) thus again try to find the cause.
. more use of food additives?
. any history of allergic rhinitis, asthmatic bronchitis, seasonal?
. any recurrent viral infection, or intestinal disease?
. any physical (pressure, friction, heat, cold, or too much emotional stress/ exercise)
. any autoimmune disease like a thyroid problem, lupus?
. any contact urticaria?
2. fry some garlic pods in mustard oil and massage with that oil
3.
i. haridra Khand: 3 gm with lukewarm water
ii. mahatikta ghrita: 10 gm twice daily.
iii. ras sindoor: 125 mg
XXXXXXX mirch churan [black pepper powder]: 2 gm
ajowain: 1 gm............................ with jaggery.
