Nursing Experience with Chinese Herbal Facial Mask for a Patient with Acne of Lung-Stomach Heat Accumulation Pattern
This report summarizes the nursing experience of applying a Chinese herbal facial mask to treat a patient with acne of the Lung-Stomach Heat Accumulation pattern. Guided by the holistic concept and syndrome differentiation principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the external application of the herbal mask facilitated transdermal absorption of active compounds, achieving therapeutic effects of heat-clearing, detoxification, and blood stasis resolution. After 4 weeks of consecutive outpatient treatment, the patient exhibited significant reduction in papules and pustules with no new lesions. At the 2-week follow-up, papules and pustules had completely resolved, with fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The patient expressed satisfaction with the treatment outcomes, demonstrating the distinctive strengths of TCM therapeutic approaches.
