Erythema dyschromicum
perstans, also known as ashy dermatosis, is a skin disorder in which grey colored
patches appear on the face, neck and trunk. This condition is more common in
women, and is similar in histopathological nature to Lichen planus. In most cases the cause is unknown, but it
may also result from parasite or viral infection or as a result of side effects
from drugs. This condition may persist
for several years and is usually resistant to treatment
Ayurvedic herbal
treatment for erythema dyschromicum perstans is aimed at treating the skin and
underlying tissues so as to remove the hyper pigmented patches. Treatment is also given to improve
generalised and specific skin immunity as well as remove inflammation in the
skin patches if present. Treatment is
also given to normalise skin color on a long-term basis. Since the histopathological and other
features of ashy dermatosis and lichen planus overlap considerably, the treatment
for this condition is also quite similar to that of lichen planus. Treatment
can be given both in the form of oral medication as well as local skin
ointments.
Depending upon the
severity of the condition and individual response of patients, Ayurvedic herbal
treatment for erythema dyschromicum perstans may be required for periods
ranging from six to twelve months. Those
who do not respond quickly to medication may require high doses of oral
medications. However, all patients invariably
respond very well to treatment with a complete remission of skin lesions.
