Many methods of treating acne are about clearing away heat and detoxifying. Traditional Chinese medicine divides clearing away heat and detoxifying into two categories, one is yang syndrome and the other is yin syndrome. Yang syndrome is mainly caused by warmth, heat, toxicity and evil, and includes honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, viola yedoensis and glabrous ginseng, which are mainly used to treat patients with Yang syndrome. Add 10 grams each of honeysuckle and forsythia to appropriate amount of water and boil for about 5 minutes. Fill a thermos with the residue and drink it as tea for 1 day. Take 10 doses as a course of treatment. The combination of honeysuckle and forsythia is a very classic combination. Because it has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, which is what we Chinese medicine practitioners call exogenous warm heat, we use Yinqiao Jiedu Pills. Both medicines are light, clear and dispersing. They can not only relieve superficial heat, but also relieve internal heat and detoxify. Therefore, for people with high fever, the two medicines are often used together, and the effect is very good.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics can control inflammation. Antibiotics should be the first choice for infections, with tetracyclines being the best. Tetracycline may inhibit Propionibacterium acnes and leukocyte chemotaxis, and can significantly reduce the concentration of free fatty acids in sebum. Tetracycline can be used in small doses and long courses, starting with 0.25g, 4 times a day for one month, then decreasing by 0.25g every 2 weeks until 0.25g per day is reached and then maintained for another month. The dosage and duration of erythromycin are the same as those of tetracycline. In cases where other antibiotics are ineffective, minocycline 50 mg, twice a day, can be used. After 2 to 3 weeks, the dose can be reduced to 50 mg, once a day. Clindamycin is the best alternative to tetracycline and is suitable for patients with severe inflammation or resistance to tetracycline. The initial dose is 0.15g, twice a day, which is reduced to once a day after the condition is controlled. The average course of treatment is about 3 months. It can cause side effects such as severe diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis, so it is only used for patients with severe dermatitis but no intestinal diseases.
