The application of"virtual fire theory"in the diagnosis and treatment of seborrheic dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin disease in clinical practice,mainly characterized by erythema accompa-nied by greasy scales,affecting the quality of life of patients.The academic community generally believes that seborrheic dermati-tis is caused by intrinsic damp-heat and external wind-evil,which blocks the muscles and skin and causes illness.The treatment mostly uses the method of clearing heat and dampness.The author believes that the seborrheic dermatitis currently seen in clinical practice is often induced or aggravated by bad habits such as staying up late and emotional discomfort.Combining the characteris-tics of modern physique and clinical experience,it is proposed to understand seborrheic dermatitis from the perspective of"virtual fire",distinguish the pathogenesis of the real and the false,treat the prescription according to the meridians and organs during treatment,and also provide a more reasonable explanation for the inflammatory response mechanism of seborrheic dermatitis.The author has achieved significant results in treating seborrheic dermatitis with this idea,so the application of the"virtual fire theo-ry"in the diagnosis and treatment of seborrheic dermatitis is introduced below,and a case is attached to assist in clarification.
