What can be done to reduce acne and maintain good health?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 20 years old. There are acne or pimple scars on my face. How do I get rid of this? How to stay healthy and fit? Please help.

My weight is only 136.68 pounds compared to my height, around 5 feet 9 inches. I guess it is not healthy. Please mention good fruits and foods to consume.

I have eye issues as well. I cannot see faraway objects, and recently I had an incident, when I woke up, my vision became white, not completely. I was able to see the objects, but my vision was not good. These issues seem like I am not healthy, and my food consumption is not proper.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not worry about your weight, it is approximately normal. Some tips to prevent pimples and acne marks include:

1. Do not touch pimples frequently.

2. Apply cold packs before developing them.

3. Do not apply any creams. You can use fresh Aloe vera and a pack of Multani mitti twice a week.

4. Avoid red chili, tea, coffee, curd, cold drinks, alcohol, eggs, nonvegetarian food, smoking, tobacco, etc.

5. Take coconut water, pomegranate juice, watermelon, apples, pineapple, cherries, berries, figs, grapes, etc., seasonal fruits and vegetables, cucumber, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pointed gourd, green gram, mat bean, light pulses, amala (gooseberry), etc.

6. Avoid excess intake of sweets.

I suggest you take Kaishore guggul (Guduchi, Triphala and Trikatu) two tablets twice daily, Arogyavardhini vati dhootpapeshwar (Shuddha parad, Shudha shilajeet, Triphala, Chitrak moola, and Kutaki) two tablets twice daily after meals, Safi Hamdard (Sana, Sheesham, Sandal, Gilo, Harar, Chiraita, Nilkanthi, Neem, Tulsi, Chob Chini, Keekar, Brahmi, Kasni, Unnab, Revand chini, Qand Safaid, and Shora desi) two teaspoon twice daily, tablet Triphala Himalaya (Emblica officinalis, Terminalia bellerica, and Terminalia chebula) drug three tablets at night with lukewarm water. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly.

I hope this was helpful.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have written Triphala for vision improvement. Your weight is slightly less. So I have written Satavarex or Shatavari Churna for weight purpose, which is a tonic.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There are no side effects for these medicines because all are made from herbs. Take these medicines for one to two months according to the response. You can stop Triphala after a month.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
