Abstract: Mukhadushika or acne vulgaris, is a common skin ailment with significant physical and psychological implications, particularly among adolescents. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatments in managing Mukhadushika. A 25-year-old female patient suffering from facial pimples, and discomfort visited our Hospital. Ayurvedic assessments revealed imbalances in Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Rasa, and Rakta doshas. The treatment protocol consisted of lodramanjistadi lepa over face along with Shamanoushadhi (internal medications). The results showed a substantial improvement in the patient’s symptoms, with the absence of black and white comedones, reduced macules and papules, and complete resolution of nodules and tenderness. The treatment approach, including the use of shamanoushadis and lodramanjistadi lepa, proved effective without side effects.
