Abstract:
In today’s world, the personality of a person is first assessed by his looks and the beauty of the face is the prime attraction. Beauty of the face creates a sense of pleasure to sight. Although the beauty of face is important to all but it is of prime concern to adolescents. Yuvan Pidika is one such disease illustrated in Ayurveda which affects the beauty of face. This disease has been described under kshudraroga in many classical texts. Yuvan Pidika is characterized by symptoms like swelling, pain, redness, itching etc. caused due to vitiation of Kapha, Vata, Rakta dosha. Yuvan Pidika can be correlated with Acne Vulgaris in modern science. Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous follicles affecting 85% of teenagers and thus causing a great harm to psycho-social development of youth in this era. Thus, an attempt has been made to explain cause, expression and management of Yuvan Pidika in ayurvedic perspective.
