Abstract

A great philosopher says, "Human faces express and represent their personality and  wisdom."Yuvanpidika described under the Kshudrarogas in Ayurveda text. Yuvanpidika is one of  Kshudrarogas which mainly affects the skin of face. According to Ayurveda text it occurs due to  imbalance of Kapha, Vata, and Rakta. It means the eruptions occur on the face of young person is  called Yuvanpidika. Sometime it may appear on upper chest & back but generally it manifests on facial  skin only and this might be the reason that word Mukhdushika has been used as a synonym of  Yauvanpidika at many places. Acne vulgaris (henceforth acne) is the eighth most common skin disease,  according to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010, with a global prevalence (for all ages) of 9.38  percent. Acharya Vijayrakshita, commentator of Madhava Nidana had used the term Yuvana Pidika as for Mukh-Dushika for the first time.
