Patient's question:
I used to only get acne between my eyebrows on my face, and it would only start when I had my period. Now, it's not like that anymore. It's all over, not just between my eyebrows, but also around my mouth with a lot of acne. It's both painful and itchy, which is really annoying. I've lost confidence even going out. I've taken traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and bought topical creams, but none of them work. Now I've bought vitamin A acid capsules, but when I got home, I was scared to take them because I saw that it can cause miscarriage and teratogenicity. I want to ask, how long should I take it in small doses? I've already taken six pills in total.Doctor's answer:
Acne is a facial skin beauty issue caused by the body's endocrine dysfunction. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is particularly skilled in rebalancing the body's functions. TCM believes that a healthy human body is in a state of balance. When certain functions within the body go awry, this balance is disrupted. By correcting the direction and extent of the imbalance, the malfunctioning functions can be rebalanced. TCM has many advantages in rebalancing the body's functions. Experts also recommend that functional diseases be treated flexibly with TCM, as it has a high safety coefficient and no side effects.
