The correct way to take toad skin is to decoct it with water or crush it into pills and powder.
Toad skin is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which is the dried skin of the toad (Bufo vulgaris), a member of the toad family.

This product is used as a decoction of water or powdered into pills and powder. Externally, it is applied to the affected area. Its adverse reactions and contraindications are not clear at present. It should be noted that when used, it is contraindicated for those with deficiency of the surface and deficiency and distension.
Clinically, it is not usually used alone, often taken with licorice for herpes, eczema, acne; combined with fenugreek and shan ci mushrooms for early cervical cancer.
If you need to use the drug, it should be used under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be purchased and used by yourself, so as to avoid delaying the condition of the disease by not using the right medicine.
