Kapha vitiation might look like with overabundance sebum creation, Vata vitiation might look like with hyperkeratinization and Rakta vitiation might look like with provocative factor in blood, assume a significant part in pathogenesis of acne vulgaris out. Both current and Ayurvedic sciences have thought about the utilization of skin as well as oral meds and their mixes for the treatment of acne vulgaris out. Present day meds give alleviation from acne vulgaris yet objective recognizable secondary effects. In Ayurveda, acne vulgaris has been dealt with fundamentally by Shodhana (purging of body) and Shamana (moderate treatment) Chikitsa or blend of both. However, a few Ayurveda texts like Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hrudaya, and so on, have explained the pathophysiology and treatment of acne vulgaris out, the accessible references are dissipated. In this manner, there is need of top to bottom survey and aggregation of Ayurvedic texts and written works.
