Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:It's more accurate to say that starting this year, my skin has become dry and rough. I have pigmentation, poor sleep, irritability, often feel dry mouth, little menstrual flow, irregular cycle. But recently, for the past month, I've been breaking out crazy on my face. Tried many medications, but nothing has improved. The past two days, it's gotten more and more severe, with redness and peeling.
Doctor's answer:
Acne (pimples) is primarily caused by changes in endocrine levels and potential bacterial infections within the hair follicles. Changes in endocrine hormone levels can lead to increased skin oil production and keratinization of the hair follicle openings, resulting in blocked hair follicles. This promotes the proliferation of bacteria within the hair follicles, ultimately leading to the formation of acne.5 Collection of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for Acne Treatment. TCM treatment for acne involves internal regulation through herbal medicine, combined with the use of topical herbal remedies. A two-pronged approach is necessary to address both the onset of acne and the formation of acne scars. Oral and topical treatments, with internal regulation and external protection, can effectively treat the root cause and prevent recurrence.
