According to Ayurveda, excess of sugar intake in the body is a major cause of skin disorders. The skin cells so affected by the excess sugar, that they provide an ideal breeding ground for the bacteria, which multiply rapidly using our skin cells.

The absence of a breeding ground results in the elimination of the virus. It is however very important to understand the cause of skin diseases. Every year millions of people suffer from some kind of skin disorder, skin disease or plain skin infections. However, most of them make matters worse by taking strong medicines and steroid-based ointments which act as suppressants. Even though the effect is almost immediate, at best they give temporary relief. More importantly, they can trigger even more severe and seemingly unrelated disorders. These may be in the form of metabolic disorders or skin eruptions. The common problem of skin diseases is Acne; acne is the scientific term for what we normally call pimples, blackheads, whiteheads or nodules that form on the face, chest, upper back or shoulders. Acne sufferers experience persistent, recurring reddish blemishes on the face, chest, shoulders, neck, upper back or buttocks. When these blemishes are spots that have a dark, open center, they are called blackheads. Whiteheads are spots that bulge under the skin and have no opening.
