Folliculitis is a skin condition in which hair follicles get inflamed, which can be caused due to bacterial infection or fungal infection. Initially, they may appear as small bumps, but later, develop as non-healing crusty sores. The initial bumps appear to be red or like white-headed pimples which grow around hair follicles. It induces itchiness, soreness, severe infections, and can also cause permanent scarring.
Skin derives its nutrients from rasa dhatu (blood plasma), according to Ayurveda, and excellent skin is a sign of a person's overall health. When all of a person's doshas are in harmony, it shows in their healthy, lustrous hair and skin. Dosha imbalances result in a variety of ailments. Infections such as hair follicle infection can be exacerbated by poor diet, a hot and humid atmosphere, poor hygiene, and chronic disease.
Local creams, antibiotics, and steroids solely cover the symptoms; they do not address the underlying source of the problem, which is why the problem recurs so frequently. Patients should follow a personalized Folliculitis treatment strategy that includes a healthy diet and specialized natural herbal medicine. The therapy also focuses on clearing the body of impurities with individualized herbal medications and home remedies.
Ayurvedic approach for folliculitis treatment serves to eradicate the root cause. It involves internal medications like shaman chikitsa, asthi majjavaha chikitsa, oaktavah strotas chikitsa, nidana parivarjana chikitsa; and detoxification via panchakarma treatments like shirodhara, basti, nasya, abhayangam, shiropichu, etc. This eliminates Ama from the body, stabilizes the vitiated doshas and helps in curing scars and folliculitis condition.
