Patient's question:
Since taking the multivitamins in June, I have started getting acne on both sides of my cheeks, and using makeup has been ineffective. Additionally, I feel cold and have cold menstrual blood; I enjoy spicy food but often have stomach issues.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Is it possible that my endocrine system is out of balance? If so, can Traditional Chinese Medicine treat it?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, acne is caused by endocrine disorders. It is a skin disease resulting from the blockage and inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It is recommended to adopt a combined external and internal treatment. External medications mainly include antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, while internal medications mainly include antibiotics such as tetracycline and anti-androgen drugs such as spironolactone. The effect is relatively slow, and it is necessary to persist in treatment. It will gradually recover completely, so there is no need to worry. It is recommended that you pay attention to daily conditioning and dietary care. Gynecological patients can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while understanding professional treatment. In daily diet, it is necessary to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
