Patient's question:
Three weeks ago, acne-like pimples reappeared on my face. When touched, they felt painful, but they were not the kind of pimples that could be squeezed out like usual acne. I would like to consult on how to treat them.Current condition: There are no signs of the pimples on my face completely disappearing, and there are marks left on my face.
Previous diagnosis, treatment history, and effectiveness: I have never had pimples or similar issues on my face before, and my diet has been very light. I have also ensured adequate hydration and digestion.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to start by regulating qi and blood, resolving blood stasis and eliminating knots, and tonifying the Chong and Ren meridians to regulate the functions of female organs, thereby balancing the endocrine system and eliminating internal blood stasis, bringing the secretion levels of estrogen and progesterone to a balanced state. Based on each individual's physical condition, treatment should be applied according to syndrome differentiation, identifying whether they belong to categories such as cold, wind, summer heat, or dampness among external pathogens. Different adjustments should be made based on excess, deficiency, yin, yang, qi, and blood. Chinese medicine can clear metabolic stagnation from the body, balance qi and blood in women, and restore the normal functioning of the endocrine system.
