Following a diet or life style that is against the season or the prakriti (nature) of a person produce disease. In Ayurvedic terms Yauvan pidika caused by aggravation of Pitta Dosha in body. The Pitta had further impaired the Raktaand Meda Dhatu (blood and fat tissues), producing toxins that blocked skin’s pores, leading to pidika (acne) formation. Epidemiology of Yauvan pidika is increasing nowadays due to Industrialization and Agriculture.
