Patient's question:
The face repeatedly breaks out with dark acne, blackheads, and pustules, which is very severe. The body is prone to cold, easily catches colds, has dry stools, and suffers from hepatitis B. It has been about 3 years, and it has caused great distress to my life. I desperately seek a good remedy?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for acne, mainly due to a decrease in the level of male hormones in the body, excessive sebum secretion leading to abnormal keratinization of the epidermis, clogging of the hair follicles, causing sebum buildup, and further exacerbated by bacterial infection, which promotes the growth of acne. Additionally, factors such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction, poor digestion, constipation, chemical irritation, and deficiencies in trace elements can also easily lead to this condition. Since the causes of acne are diverse and can be related to lifestyle, work stress, and the environment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments for acne often have a relatively long duration. During treatment, it is important to pay attention to rest in bed. Avoid intense exercise, maintain a calm mood, and do not experience excessive stress.
