Yuvanapidika is a type of KshudraRoga described in Ayurvedic classics. The classical symptoms of yuvanapidika described in Ayurveda resemble Acne Vulgaris. The shalmali thorn-like eruptions on the face of adolescents are due to the vitiation of Kapha, Vata, and rakta, called Yuvanapidika or Mukhadushika. The incidence of Yuvanapidika is increasing in our society due to changes in diet patterns, lifestyle, hormonal changes, and environmental conditions. It correlates to Acne Vulgaris, which is explained in modern science. It is one of the most common dermatological problems affecting virtually all individuals at least once. The main cause is increased sebum production and colonization of pilosebaceous ducts by Propionibacterium acnes. However, various advanced treatments are available in modern medicine for patients with acne vulgaris, these techniques are not affordable for every patient and their family. In Ayurvedic texts, many mukhlepa, medicinal preparations, Pathya Apathya, and Dinacharya procedures have a wonderful preventive and curative effect on Yuvanpidika diseases. Furthermore, facial beauty is necessary for everyone, so all sections of Ayurveda can work together to prevent Yuvanpidika and other diseases. This article explains how Ayurveda can help us prevent and manage Yuvanapidika.
