Does a child with psoriasis suffer from growth issues due to taking traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to greet you. My child has been diagnosed with psoriasis. Does taking traditional Chinese medicine affect their growth? Will it have any negative effects on their body? How is this condition usually treated? Is it serious? Is traditional Chinese medicine effective? How quickly does it take to see results?

Doctor's answer:

Psoriasis is a stubborn chronic skin disease that can recur at any age. Due to children's weaker immune system and susceptibility to various external factors, it is easily triggered by psoriasis. If treated promptly, psoriasis has no significant impact on the body. Some traditional Chinese medicines can be used to clear heat, detoxify, soften and resolve hard masses, along with skin care to reduce stress and gradually eliminate stressful factors. It is also recommended to consume more high-protein foods.
