Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the sebaceous glands of hair follicles, characterized by acne, papules and pustules on the face, forehead and back. It is often accompanied by seborrhea and is common in adolescent men and women. For the treatment of acne, Chinese medicine focuses on clearing heat and detoxifying the toxins. For patients with damp heat in the stomach and intestines, loquat and lung clearing drink is often used; for patients with liver qi discomfort, prolotherapy and peach and red four-item soup are often used to reduce acne. Some patients who have difficulty changing their own dietary habits may experience discomfort and increased facial acne after taking medication. If this happens, don’t panic. Continue taking the medication for about 1 week and it will completely subside. It is recommended to seek medical advice from a professional doctor and then target treatment.
