According to Ayurveda, skin rashes and diseases are caused more in people in whom Pitta is predominant. Summer season is the worst period for such people. When there is excess heat and imbalance in the diet, Pitta can overheat the blood that in turn affects the skin, causing irritations like common rashes, which are visible with change in the texture of the skin. It is inflamed with redness on the skin.
The excess toxins in the blood and skin cause skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, Rosacea and acne. The toxin present in the body can get deposited in the skin that comes in contact with the sweat glands causing inflammation to the skin.
