I am (age 61) based in mumbai and presently suffering from non thrombo cytotoxic purpura and it periodically reoccurs (honech schonlein purpura) note: my platelet count has been always above 170,000 I do have any other illness and my body type is pitta dominated purpura symptoms - rash & bleeding underneath skin (echymosses / blood spits approx 1 cm) - these blood spots are seen on feet, legs? Buttocks and hand. After few days these spots turn purple/black and are itchy. Occasional pin and needle sensation in body. I am tired of alopathic treatment-steroids, immunosuppressant, multi vitamins and steroid creams. Basically above meds (alopathic) suppress the diseases temporarily & have major side affects. Seeking advice for natural/ayurvedic treatment and once again my body type is pitta dominated

Dear sir,
to tell you the truth this condition is usually self-healing if not severe.
All you need to do is keep yourself hydrated with plenty of fluids during the episodes and it will resolve on its own.
Since you are a bit aged, you should be a bit cautious and in case it is turning severe once the episode occurs you should immediately rush to a hospital and then only you need steroids and immunosuppressants. Otherwise fluids will suffice if you are patient enough.

Morphea is an autoimmune disease that causes sclerosis, or scarlike, changes to the skin. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system, which normally protects us from bacteria, viruses, and fungi, mistakenly attacks a person's own body.

Hello Lybrate user, autoimmune disease happen due uncontrolled response of our immune system to our self innocuous antigen, it has nothing to do with masturbation.

Unfortunately no
the entire metabolic state drives your immunity and there is no market for it. But you can have certain antibody tests to see if you have the antibody or resistance to that particular organism.
