It is common for patients to have more severe acne after taking Chinese medicine. After applying some warming and tonic medicines, many patients will have heavier acne on their face, accompanied by dry mouth and dry stools. The first thing to consider is whether the patient’s constitution is weak, and if he or she simply applies some overly tonic medicine, the patient may not be able to tolerate it. At this time, we can observe the patient for a period of time and then adjust the prescription according to the patient’s symptoms. However, in other cases, the application of some warming drugs may cause the fire in the lungs and stomach to become more intense, leading to an increase in acne. If acne is very severe, patients can stop using herbal medicine and look at it. They can also use topical medications such as benzoyl peroxide gel and retinoic acid ointment to treat acne at the same time.
