"Acne" is the common name for acne, which is called "facial pimples", "lung wind acne", "wine pimples" and so on in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern medicine believes that the cause of this disease is endocrine disorders and excessive secretion of male hormones. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acne is located in the lungs, and the pathogenesis includes blood heat in the lung meridian and damp heat in the spleen and stomach. For example, "The Authentic Surgery" says: "Lung wind, acne, and rosacea are the same name. Acne belongs to the lungs, and rosacea belongs to the spleen. They are all caused by stagnant blood heat." "The Golden Mirror of the Medical Ancestral: The Secret of Surgery" says: "Lung wind and acne are caused by blood heat in the lung meridian. They always occur on the nose and face, with broken lumps shaped like millet crumbs, red, swollen and painful, and white powdery juice comes out when they break. Over time, they all turn into white flakes. It is advisable to take loquat lung-clearing drink internally and apply diandao powder externally, and the effect will subside slowly." It can be treated with methods of clearing heat, promoting dampness, and cooling blood.
