Abstract

Skin diseases in Ayurveda are categorized under Kushtha Roga, which reflects internal imbalance in the body. Acne Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting the central face, causing redness, flushing, and sensitivity.

In Ayurveda, it is closely related to Pitta-Rakta imbalance, where excess heat in the body affects blood tissue, leading to visible skin symptoms.

Due to its impact on appearance, rosacea can significantly affect confidence and mental well-being.

It is commonly seen in adults aged 30–50 and appears in cycles of flare-ups and remission.

Unlike acne:

✔ No blackheads or whiteheads
