        abstract = {Acne consistently ranks among the top three most prevalent skin conditions in the general population. Acne vulgaris is a common human skin disease characterized by seborrhoea (scaly red skin), comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (pinheads), pustules (larger papules), and potentially scarring. In Ayurveda texts, acne corresponds to a condition known as Yuvana Pidika. The primary site of manifestation is the face. Individuals affected by acne often express a strong desire for relief, frequently seeking Ayurvedia treatments after unsuccessful attempts with conventional options such as isotretinoin, antibiotics, or oral contraceptives.
A 24-year-old female patient presented to the Outpatient Department of Dravyaguna Vigyana, Jaipur, with complaints of facial acne persisting for the past six months. The case was diagnosed as Yuvana Pidika. Treatment included a topical application (lepa) made of Arjunatvak, madhwasthi,keshara(saffron), rakta chandana(red sandalwood), and haridra(turmeric) mixed with godugdha (cow’s milk), applied once daily for 30 days. Additionally, combination of manjishtha powder,haritaki powder and guduchi powder (1 gm each,twice daily orally) was administered for the same duration. A significant therapeutic response was observed at the end of the treatment period.},
