Professor Xu Xian's Clinical Experience in Treatment of Rosacea with Combination of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine
Professor Xu Xian has been engaged in clinical and scientific research in dermatology for over 60 years,with rich experience in the treatment of rosacea through the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medi-cine.Professor Xu believes that liver depression and blood heat,as well as spleen and stomach damp-heat are the core pathogenesis of rosacea,the treatment of which should be based on oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine,com-bined with syndrome differentiation for disease types and stages.The basic etiology and pathogenesis of erythema and telan-giectasia are liver dysfunction,stagnation,and heat accumulation,and the basic treatment is to cool blood and soothe the liver,as well as to nourish Yin and clear heat.The papule and pustule stage is mainly characterized by the loss of spleen and stomach circulation,dominated by dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach.The treatment method is to clear heat,dry dampness,detoxify,and disperse nodules.Patients with a prolonged course of disease often suffer from blood stasis and humid fever.Traditional Chinese medicine for external treatment often chooses those that have the effects of clearing heat,cooling blood,drying dampness,detoxifying,as well as the pharmacological effects of antibacterial activity and lipid control.At the same time,western medicine can be used as an adjuvant treatment based on the clinical manifestations of the disease,with significant clinical efficacy.One case is attached as evidence.
