Recurrent acne on the lower jaw is most often seen in TCM diagnosis, such as stomach and intestinal damp-heat, liver meridian heat, phlegm and stagnant stagnation.
Repeated acne caused by gastrointestinal damp-heat is mostly around the mouth, or the cheek area. Most of them are directly related to the diet of greasy food, spicy stimulation, often accompanied by dry mouth, dry stools or sticky stools and other symptoms. It can be treated with the addition and subtraction of removing dampness and stomach ling soup, Yin Chen Artemisia soup and other remedies.
Repeated acne around the mouth and jaw caused by liver meridian heat depletion is often accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth, bitter mouth, irritability, dry eyes, dizziness and tinnitus. Treatment should be based on the addition and subtraction of Gentian Diarrhea and Liver Tang, which has the effect of clearing liver and fire.
Acne caused by phlegm and stagnant stagnation is often characterized by cysts or nodules. It can be treated by drying dampness and resolving phlegm (expelling dampness by drying dampness and resolving phlegm), activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and dispersing nodules. The treatment can be adjusted with the addition or subtraction of Blood Palace and Blood Stasis Dispersing Soup and Er Chen Soup.
Specific identification needs to be carried out by professional Chinese medicine practitioners, do not blindly diagnose and treat on your own to avoid adverse effects.
