Ayurvedic treatment for hair fall and skin diseases
Hair and skin are the two places where people are sold the hardest promises, so this page is written the other way round. Each condition below has its own article — what it looks like, what usually causes it, what a plan here can realistically change and where it stops. Read the one that is yours before you book, and bring photographs of how it looked when it started.
Most hair and skin complaints are manageable rather than curable, and the difference matters. Spreading blisters with fever, a hot red limb with a rising temperature, swelling of the lips or throat, or skin that has broken down over a large area is assessed by a doctor first — a plan here is built alongside that, not instead of it.

What we treat under hair and skin
Each of these has its own page — symptoms, the Ayurvedic reading of the condition, what treatment looks like and the questions patients ask before they book.
Hair Loss and Regrowth
Shedding that has become heavier, a parting that has widened, or colour going early. The first job is telling ordinary shedding from pattern hair loss, because the two are handled completely differently.
Read this pageAlopecia Areata
Smooth round patches that appear over weeks, sometimes in the beard as well. The immune system has attacked the follicles; many patches regrow on their own, and the plan is about the ones that do not.
Read this pageDandruff
White flakes on the shoulders and an itchy scalp. It comes back in winter and after oiling, and that relapsing pattern is the honest description of what treatment can do.
Read this pageSeborrheic Dermatitis
Oily yellow flakes with redness along the scalp, eyebrows, sides of the nose and chest. Chronic and relapsing — controlled in cycles, not finished in a course.
Read this pageAcne
Comedones, pus heads, deep painful nodules and the marks they leave behind. Where the acne sits and what it looks like decides more than any diet rule does.
Read this pageHyperpigmentation
Dark patches and uneven tone after acne, sun exposure, pregnancy or a cream that went wrong. Daily sun protection is not optional here; without it, nothing else holds.
Read this pageDark Circles
The shadow under the eyes that makes a rested person look tired. Part thin skin and pigment, part sleep, allergies and nasal congestion — and worth being clear about which.
Read this pageGlowing Skin
Dullness rather than disease. This is the least medical item on the page, and it is answered by sleep, food, iron and a routine you keep, not by a bottle.
Read this pageEczema
Dry, itchy, inflamed skin that flares and settles. The itch-scratch cycle is what damages the skin, so the plan is built around breaking it and repairing the barrier.
Read this pageAtopic Dermatitis
The lifelong, often family-linked form of eczema that starts in childhood and returns in the creases of elbows and knees. Management, season by season, rather than a cure.
Read this pageDermatitis
A general word for inflamed skin, used when the exact type is not yet settled. The article explains what separates one kind from another and why it changes the treatment.
Read this pageContact Dermatitis
A rash that arrives where something touched the skin — soap, dye, nickel, cement, a cosmetic. Finding the thing and stopping contact is the treatment; creams only clean up afterwards.
Read this pagePsoriasis
Well-defined thick red plaques with silvery scale, commonly on elbows, knees and scalp, often with a family history. Incurable and relapsing; the goal is clear skin and fewer flares.
Read this pageVitiligo
Chalk-white patches with sharp edges where pigment has gone. No honest clinic can promise repigmentation, so the page says what actually influences it and what does not.
Read this pageLichen Planus
Itchy purple flat-topped bumps, sometimes inside the mouth or on the genitals. Often settles by itself over many months; mouth involvement needs proper follow-up.
Read this pageUrticaria (Hives)
Raised itchy wheals that appear and vanish within a day. Antihistamines lead; the plan looks at triggers, and at why some cases run for years.
Read this pageDust Allergy
Dust and pollen allergy, filed here by the old index. Sneezing, a blocked nose and itchy eyes alongside the skin signs — the same allergic tendency, a different set of symptoms.
Read this pageAngioedema
Deeper swelling, usually around the lips, eyelids or hands. Swelling of the tongue or throat with any breathing difficulty is an emergency, not a consultation.
Read this pageRosacea
Persistent central facial redness with visible vessels, sometimes bumps that look like acne but are not. Triggers — heat, sun, spice, alcohol — carry most of the answer.
Read this pageFungal Infection
Itchy red ring-shaped or flaky patches in the groin, folds and trunk. The single most common cause of the mess is a steroid cream used on a fungus; the page explains how to undo it.
Read this pageTinea Ringworm
A ring-shaped spreading rash with a clear centre and an active border. Contagious within a household, and stubborn once it has been treated with the wrong ointment.
Read this pageAthlete's Foot
Peeling, macerated, itchy skin between the toes and on the sole. It returns through the same shoes and towels unless those are handled as part of the plan.
Read this pageScabies
Intense night-time itch with small bumps between fingers, at the waist and groin, and a household catching it. A mite infestation needs an acaricide; skin repair afterwards is where we help.
Read this pageWarts
Rough viral bumps on hands, feet and elsewhere, sometimes spreading by shaving or scratching. Many clear without treatment over time; removal is a dermatologist's procedure.
Read this pageImpetigo
Honey-coloured crusted sores, common in children and easily spread at home and school. A bacterial infection that usually needs an antibiotic, topically or by mouth.
Read this pageFolliculitis
Small pus heads centred on hair follicles, often on the scalp, beard, thighs or back. Shaving, tight clothing, sweating and a steroid-affected face are the usual backstories.
Read this pageCellulitis
A hot, tender, spreading red area with fever. This is a bacterial infection of the deep skin and needs antibiotics promptly — widening redness with fever is urgent care.
Read this pageCarbuncle
A cluster of connected boils, most often on the neck and back, sometimes with fever. Recurrence is a signal to look at blood sugar; drainage is a surgical decision, not a herbal one.
Read this pagePityriasis Rosea
One larger patch followed by many smaller ones across the trunk, often mistaken for fungus or secondary syphilis. Usually it goes on its own in six to eight weeks.
Read this pageShingles
Painful grouped blisters running in a band down one side of the body, with nerve pain that can outlast the rash. Antivirals work only in the first days, so the timing matters.
Read this pageChicken Pox
Itchy fluid-filled blisters in crops with fever, mostly in childhood. Care is about itch, fever and the skin while it runs; some people need antivirals and we say who.
Read this pagePemphigus Vulgaris
Flaccid blisters that break into painful raw areas, often starting in the mouth. A serious autoimmune disease in which specialist immune-suppressing treatment leads; anything else is support.
Read this pageLeprosy
Numb skin patches with thickened nerves. Multidrug therapy is free through the government and is what actually cures it — we do not treat leprosy with herbs instead, and say so on the page.
Read this pagePhlebitis
A painful red hardening along a vein. It belongs with the circulation rather than the skin, and needs an ultrasound to rule out a deeper clot before anything else is considered.
Read this pageKeloids
A scar that has grown past the wound, firm, raised and itchy, common after ear piercing, acne or injury. No paste flattens an established keloid; the effective options are procedural.
Read this pageLipoma
A soft, mobile, painless lump under the skin that has slowly grown. Benign, and no medicine dissolves it — removal is a small surgical procedure if it is needed at all.
Read this pageXanthelasma
Yellow flat deposits at the inner corners of the eyelids. They are a skin sign of a lipid problem, so the first test is a lipid profile rather than a cream.
Read this pageAcanthosis Nigricans
Dark velvety thickening on the neck, armpits or groin. Almost always a marker of insulin resistance — treating the metabolism changes the skin, and scrubbing it changes nothing.

How a hair or skin plan is built at Aksa
Skin and scalp are examined, not guessed at. Where the rash sits, what its edge looks like and what has already been applied to it decide more than any label you arrived with, so the first sitting is a proper look rather than a prescription.
- 01
You share your details
Name, number and what you have been dealing with — where it started, how long it has run and what you have already tried. A care coordinator calls you back and books you with the right physician.
- 02
The appointment is confirmed
At the Model Town or Burari clinic, or on a video consultation with clear photographs if travelling is the problem. You are told what to bring and what to stop applying the day before.
- 03
Examination and diagnosis
The skin and scalp are looked at directly — distribution, the edge of the lesion, nail and hair changes — with dermoscopy where needed, alongside your history, family history and every cream you have used.
- 04
A plan, and the tests that settle it
Medicines, a written skin-care and hair-care routine for the way you actually live, and the specific tests still outstanding — a scraping, a blood sugar, a thyroid — with the reason each one is being asked for.
- 05
Reviews measured on the skin
Followed at set intervals with the same photographs each time, because hair and skin change slowly and a memory of whether it is better is not a measurement.
What the physician reads
- Exactly where the lesions are, how they are shaped and what their edge looks like
- How long it has run, what cleared it before and what brought it back
- Every cream, oil, shampoo and soap used on it, including over-the-counter steroid combinations
- Itch pattern — day or night, and whether it wakes you
- Nail, scalp, hairline and mouth changes, which separate one disease from another
- Family history of psoriasis, vitiligo, alopecia, asthma or eczema
- Hair practices — oiling, tight styles, dye, chemical straightening, hot water
- Weight, diet, menstrual history, thyroid symptoms and stress over the last year
- Joint pain, morning stiffness, fever or weight loss alongside the skin
Your reports, in plain language
Skin tests are quick and mostly painless, and several of them settle in one sitting what months of guessing could not. These are the names that appear on dermatology paperwork.
- Skin scraping and KOH mount
- Fungus in a scraping from the edge of a rash, and the mite or eggs in a scabies lesion. Minutes in the lab, and the single most useful test when ringworm and eczema look alike.
- Dermoscopy of the scalp
- Follicle openings, hair-shaft thickness and the pattern that separates pattern hair loss from alopecia areata and from active shedding.
- Wood's lamp examination
- A dark room and an ultraviolet light. Vitiligo glows sharply, fungal patches fluoresce, and some bacterial rashes light up — none of which is visible in ordinary light.
- Complete blood count and ESR
- Anaemia, infection and general inflammation. Ferritin, B12 and zinc are added when hair shedding is the complaint, since low stores are a common and correctable cause.
- Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4)
- Both an underactive and an overactive thyroid cause diffuse hair loss and dry skin. It is one of the first tests in any shedding complaint.
- Fasting blood sugar and HbA1c
- Insulin resistance and diabetes — the reason behind recurrent fungal infection, boils, acanthosis nigricans and slow healing.
- Lipid profile
- Cholesterol and triglycerides, asked for when there is xanthelasma, tendon lumps or a family history of early heart disease.
- Total IgE and allergy testing
- The allergic tendency behind hives, atopic eczema and rhinitis. Specific IgE or skin-prick testing is used when a particular trigger is suspected.
- Patch testing
- Small squares of common allergens taped to the back for two days, to identify what a contact dermatitis is actually reacting to.
- Skin biopsy with direct immunofluorescence
- A small sample under local anaesthetic, used when psoriasis, lichen planus or an autoimmune blistering disease needs to be told apart with certainty.
A negative scraping does not prove there is no fungus if steroid creams have already been applied, and normal blood reports do not mean nothing is wrong. These are read against what the skin actually shows, which is why the examination comes first.
What Ayurveda can do here — and what it cannot
This is the field where the loudest claims are made — permanent cures for vitiligo, psoriasis and hair loss, and creams that lighten skin in a week. So the boundary is stated here rather than left for you to find out later.
What a plan here is for
- Reducing active hair shedding once the cause behind it has been identified
- Calming itch, redness and scaling in eczema, dermatitis and seborrhoeic disease
- Clearing plaques in psoriasis and keeping flares further apart
- Treating acne and, more importantly, limiting the marks and scars it leaves
- Restoring the skin barrier so fewer flares start in the first place
- Undoing the damage left by months of unsupervised steroid-cream use
- Supporting recovery and comfort after infections — viral, bacterial or fungal — have been properly treated
- A written routine for washing, oiling, shaving, sun protection and clothing that fits your actual day
- Honest advice about which of these conditions are managed for life rather than finished
What it is not
- It is not the treatment for spreading cellulitis, blisters covering a large area, skin breakdown with fever, or swelling of the tongue or throat — those are emergency or same-day care
- Leprosy is cured by multidrug therapy supplied free by the government. Nobody here replaces it, and delaying it causes the nerve damage that leaves people disabled
- Pemphigus vulgaris is led by specialist immune-suppressing treatment; support here never substitutes for it
- Psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis are chronic and relapsing. Anyone promising a permanent cure is selling something
- An established keloid or lipoma is not dissolved by any herb, paste or oil
- Pattern hair loss is largely genetic and hormonal; a plan can slow shedding and improve the scalp, but it will not restore a hairline that has gone
- No fairness or bleaching preparation is endorsed here. Creams that work fast in a week usually contain steroid, mercury or hydroquinone obtained without oversight, and the damage they do outlasts the glow
- Nobody will ask you to stop a dermatologist's prescribed medicine on your own
If your condition turns out to be one where Ayurveda can only support rather than change it — an autoimmune blistering disease, advanced pattern baldness, a keloid that needs a procedure — you will be told that at the first sitting, along with who to see instead. That answer is worth more than a six-month course that was never going to work.

How a video consultation runsFrequently asked questions
No clinic can, and the ones that say they can are the reason people arrive years late with worse disease. Psoriasis and vitiligo are immune-mediated and relapsing. What a well-run plan achieves in psoriasis is clearer skin for longer, fewer flares and less dependence on strong topical medicines. In vitiligo, response depends on the site and how long the patch has been there — face and neck respond better than hands and feet, and nobody can promise it. What we do promise is that you will hear this at the first sitting rather than after paying for six months.
Other treatment categories
The same structure on every category: real pages, written by the physicians who treat them.
Medical disclaimer: this page is educational and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Skin and scalp conditions are managed with your own dermatologist — speak to them before starting, stopping or changing anything, and seek urgent care for spreading redness with fever, widespread blistering or skin loss, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or a painful rash with fever.
One honest reading of your skin, before anyone sells you a cure.
A consultation with a B.A.M.S physician, an examination rather than a label, and a plain answer about what a plan can change in your condition and what it cannot.
