It is self-limiting in the majority but severe forms, however, lead to disfiguring scars, which can be prevented. Hence, it is essential to look out for treatment modalities which would help prevent the disfigurement caused by acne. Main Clinical Finding: A 20-year-old female presented with eruptions, pain, closed comedones, whiteheads, itching, and redness over her face for the past 2 years. Diagnosis: Yovanpidaka. Interventions: Administered Vaman with Madanphal Yoga along with milk and Yashtimadhu Phanta after proper internal oleation with Panchatikta Ghruta. Outcome and Conclusions: Marked improvement after Vaman in the signs and symptoms of the patient. Improvement in complexion was also seen.Significant result was seen in Yovanpidaka after Vaman. In cases where local treatments prove to be futile, Shodhan Chikitsa can deliver wonderful results.
