1. Acne

The scientific name of acne is acne, which is also known as comedones in medicine. It is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It often occurs in young people, and mainly occurs on the face, chest and back. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, acne is mostly caused by excessive body heat, eating fatty foods, or bad mood leading to excessive heat in the lung meridian, or damp heat in the spleen and stomach leading to excessive heat and toxicity in the blood and accumulation of damp heat on the face. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially celery and leeks that are rich in long fiber, or taking Runtong capsules and aloe vera capsules to speed up detoxification in the body.

2. Is metronidazole useful for treating acne?

When treating acne, topical preparations are often used. Metronidazole has an inhibitory effect on sensitive bacteria that cause skin infections. Topical metronidazole has the advantages of small dosage, high local drug concentration, long-lasting effect, few adverse reactions and easy use. It has broad application prospects in the treatment of dermatological diseases, but the high medical costs are not accepted by most people. Therefore, I sincerely recommend Ihuanon Herbal Anti-Acne Water. It uses a pure natural plant formula, is safe and non-irritating, and is the fastest and easiest way to remove acne. Apply it to acne-prone skin 1-3 times a day, and it will be cured every other day if acne appears.
