Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. As I'm not able to directly examine you thus you have to do some search yourself to find a good dermatologist in your city, I at most can tell you about the pathogenesis and dietary aspect of the disease

i. As it is an example of Autoimmune [AI] disease thus any autoimmune disorder like Rheumatoid Arthritis, diabetes, vitiligo, hypothyroidism, psoriasis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease [IBD] has to be excluded, so consult with a Medical specialist for relevant examination and investigation.

ii. Duration of treatment may not be proportional to the extent of skin involvement, probably because of a disturbed immune system, so prolonged treatment with Medhya (Nervine) & Rasayana Drugs (Immunomodulators) should be continued irrespective of the improvement.

iii. Avoid: milk, yogurt, sugarcane products, fish meat, newly harvested rice, salt, vinegar, oily foods, raw radish, overeating, sleeping during day, brinjal, tomatoes, soap (dry)

iv. Take: green vegetables, boiled and filtered water to drink, protein-rich diet, iron, folic acid, barley, whole wheat bread, honey, eggs, brown rice, orange.

P.S. because skin and nervous system have a common embryological origin thus medicine should cover the neuro part also.

v. Vit E which works as an antioxidant can be applied to the skin as well as taken orally.

vi. Include a diet rich in Vit. A, B6, E and essential fatty acids
