Many female friends will have symptoms such as weakness in the limbs and cold hands and feet. At the same time, due to the influence of endocrine during menstruation, they will also have acne on their faces, which greatly affects their appearance. So how to treat acne during menstruation? Regarding this issue, please share with me in the next period of time.

Acne during menstruation

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the most common type of acne is caused by damp-heat in the lungs and stomach, which is also known as common acne. This inflammatory rash is mostly red and includes whiteheads, blackheads, and pustules in severe cases. It is also accompanied by bitter and dry mouth and constipation. The treatment of this situation should focus on clearing the lungs. You can choose the decoction of the prescription: Loquat Qingfei Drink combined with Baihu Decoction.

In addition, slightly more severe acne will also have nodules and cysts, which is a type of conglomerate acne. This situation is mostly caused by the accumulation of phlegm and dampness. Optional items: Haizao Yuhu Decoction combined with Erchen Decoction (including tangerine peel and pinellia).

Dietary precautions: Do not eat spicy, irritating, or greasy foods, and do not eat too hot meat, such as lamb. You can eat more fruits and vegetables, but try to avoid hot fruits, such as grapes and lychees.

No spots and dark yellowing

There are two reasons why the skin has spots and the qi and blood are dark yellow and dull, according to TCM theory: liver and kidney deficiency and spleen deficiency and dampness. The two have different manifestations and differences. Liver and kidney deficiency is manifested by a dull complexion, often accompanied by low back pain, fatigue, or hair loss and insomnia. You can choose Liuwei Dihuang Pills which are used to nourish the liver and kidneys. In this case, you should take them regularly for at least one or two months. The diet should be low in salt and light.

Spleen deficiency and dampness are manifested by sallow complexion, often accompanied by heaviness in the head, lower limbs, and loss of appetite. In this case, it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. You can choose Buzhong Yiqi Pills, or choose the decoction of the ready-made medicine: Bishan Shenshi Yin.

I believe that with the above sharing by all of us, most of our friends already have their own standard answer to the question of how to treat acne during menstruation. Of course, I would like to remind everyone that although we cannot avoid acne during menstruation, we must regulate endocrine problems during menstruation. This requires eating more blood-enriching foods during menstruation and paying attention to sleep quality.
