Acne on the forehead and chin, what is this condition from the perspective of Chinese medicine?
I am a Chinese medicine clinician. Here's how I see this issue.
In terms of facial diagnosis, which corresponds to the parts, the forehead belongs to the Upper Jiao, which also corresponds to the Heart and Lungs.
What about the lower disk, which corresponds to the lower Jiao, that is, the genitourinary system, which belongs to the Kidneys.
When these two parts of the body, appear long acne. To a certain extent, it reflects, is the heart, lungs or kidneys, there is heat evidence.
Of course, not all acne is caused by heat. It depends on the specific individual.
Some of the people I see clinically are those who have more dampness, more cold dampness, and also have acne on the forehead or chin.
For example, if you go to a Western doctor for lower Jiao cold-dampness, you will often have a combination of some genitourinary system, chronic inflammation. In Chinese medicine, it is more common to find dampness-heat in the lower Jiao or cold-dampness in the lower Jiao.
In addition to Damp-Heat and Cold-Dampness, some are combined with Bruised Blood. When combined with Bruised Blood, the acne tends to be darker, purplish in color, and the acne marks are less likely to go away.
How to treat it? Ultimately, it is confirmed after the four diagnostics are combined to recognize the evidence.
I have heat in the heart and lungs, which can be treated with a formula that clears the heart and lungs. One of the most commonly used empirical remedies for acne is called Loquat Lung Clearing Drink.
If there is really heat in the heart and lungs, this formula is a good treatment.
Then, if it is, cold-dampness or damp-heat in the lower Jiao, then, it must be regulated with a formula that dispels cold-dampness or loses damp-heat.
Combined with dampness, such acne is not very well regulated and tends to recur. This requires, in the course of treatment must abstain from eating.
Reduce the production of dampness by, for example, eating fewer fruits, fewer frozen drinks, fruits and vegetables, and so on.
Acne is due to the relatively strong secretion of androgens during puberty, follicle sebaceous duct blockage, sebaceous glands produce a large amount of sebum can not be discharged in a timely manner due to. The skin of our body is like a computer monitor, reflecting the various changes produced by internal organs! For example, the question raised by the forehead and chin acne, long time long fade, fade and long, over and over again, is a typical kidney deficiency type acne, the majority of the family hereditary. This kind of person's face is easy to oil, to wash your face with warm water to prevent pore clogging, you can take Huanglian detoxification soup treatment.
Don't stay up late in your daily life, don't eat spicy things, and don't eat anything that's on fire! You can consume some things to reduce the fire, such as winter melon, spinach, tomatoes 🍅, cabbage and so on can prevent recurrence.
There are many reasons for forehead acne. Is it caused by long hair and a lot of oil in the hair? Is it due to dampness-heat? What causes this kind of dampness and heat? Is it caused by too much stress, blocked blood, or blood heat?
If it is too much stress, you can consider Warm Gallbladder Tang, Chai Hu Long Bone and Oyster Tang; Bruised Blood can consider Gui Zhi Fu Ling Pill; and Blood Heat can consider Jing Wei Lian Qiao Tang.
There are many reasons for chin acne. Is it menstrual disorders? Do you eat too much and can't digest it? Is it dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach?
If menstruation is irregular you can consider Warm Menstruation Soup and Finish the Belt Soup. For indigestion, consider Baohe Pills. For dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, you can consider Ephedra, Forsythia and Red Bean Soup.
The above soup is an example, the specific still need to carefully identify the oh, can not be used as a set of prescription. It is best to find a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner to see.
I wish you all good health and beauty.
