Dr. Jagdish Prasad Nama* and Dr. Swati Goyal

Introduction: Ayurveda is a vast body of knowledge that describes in depth both systemic and local problems, no matter how big or small, as well as how to treat them. Among these is Yuvanapidika. Among the most prized and appealing qualities. It is the attribute or set of attributes that gives pleasure to the senses, particularly sight. The most prevalent skin condition that primarily affects teenagers is acne. It is the caricature of youth and the scourge of humanity. 89% of seventeen-year-olds suffer from it to some extent. Aim: To collect and comprehensively review information available regarding Yuvanpidika or Tarunyapitika and Mukhadushika. Materials and Methods: This review is in a narrative format and done from literature and publications relevant to Yuvanpidika or Tarunyapitika and Mukhadushika that were identified through a systematic search of major computerized medical databases. Observation and Results: It is known as Mukhadushika or Yuvanpidika in Ayurveda, and it is described under Kshudra Rogas in the Sushruta Samhita. According to Acharya Sushruta, Mukhadushika is characterised by facial lesions that resemble Shalmali thorns, particularly in teenagers. According to Ayurveda, Mukhadushika is caused by the vitiation of Kaphadosha, Vatadosha and Rakta dhatu. In Ayurvedic treatment for Mukhadushika, two primary types of chikitsa, Shodhana chikitsa and Shamana chikitsa are outlined. Discussion and Conclusion: Yuvanpidika, also known as Mukhadushika, Bhavaprakasha says it is Swabhavaja, whereas Sharangadhara says it is Shukradhatu mala. Because of the rise in Shukradhatu and its Mala, we can assume that Yuvanapidaka illness is Swabhavaja and occurs during Yuvanavastha. It is acknowledged that Yuvanpidika is a disorder in which Kapha, Vata, and Rakta are vitiated.
