Skin conditions do more than just affect physical appearance; they often come with distressing symptoms like itching, burning, stinging, blistering, scaling, or pigmentation. In severe cases, they can significantly impact mental well-being and overall quality of life. TCM Dermatology believes that while skin issues manifest on the surface, their roots are often found in internal imbalances. As the saying goes, 'Internal conditions must manifest externally'—skin problems are often a reflection of internal disharmony in Yin and Yang, Qi and blood, or organ dysfunction.
TCM treatment for skin diseases focuses on 'Syndrome Differentiation' and a holistic approach. We don't just treat the local skin lesions; we emphasize regulating the internal environment and strengthening the constitution to treat both the symptoms and the root cause. By harmonizing Qi and blood, clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and dampness, and moisturizing to relieve itching, we utilize a combination of internal herbal medicine, external herbal washes, medicinal ointments, and acupuncture to improve efficacy and reduce recurrence.
