What is the best Chinese patent medicine for removing plaques?

Generally, different types of plaques require different corresponding Chinese patent medicines. Common types include melasma, freckles, pityriasis versicolor, arterial dissection plaques, and atherosclerotic plaques. Corresponding Chinese patent medicines such as Xiaoyao Pills, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Fuyang Granules, Compound Danshen Dropping Pills, and Ginkgo Leaf Tablets may help fade these plaques. If any abnormalities occur, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Melasma

Melasma is a common facial pigmentation disorder usually appearing on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It presents as gray or brown patches, typically symmetrically distributed. Chinese patent medicines with functions of soothing the liver, relieving depression, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis may be used under medical advice, such as Xiaoyao Pills, Honghua Xiaoyao Tablets, and Jing Tian Quban Capsules.

2. Freckles

Freckles are usually small, round or oval brown spots commonly found on sun-exposed areas like the face, arms, and shoulders. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Zhibai Dihuang Pills, and Yurong Pills may be used.

3. Pityriasis Versicolor

Pityriasis versicolor is a skin condition caused by fungal infection, presenting as small round or oval patches that may appear lighter or darker than the surrounding skin, usually covered with fine scales. Under medical advice, some Chinese patent medicines with functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, drying dampness, and relieving itching may be used as adjunctive treatments, such as Fuyang Granules, Shiduqing Capsules, and Baixuan Xiatare Tablets.

4. Arterial Dissection Plaque

An arterial dissection plaque is a lesion formed by lipid deposits within the arterial wall, accompanied by tearing or rupture of the arterial wall, forming a structure similar to a double layer. These plaques can easily lead to severe complications such as arterial dissection and rupture. Under medical guidance, medications such as Compound Danshen Dropping Pills, Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills, and Guanxin Suhe Pills may be used to improve blood circulation and assist in fading the plaque.

5. Atherosclerotic Plaque

An atherosclerotic plaque is a lesion formed by lipid deposits within the arterial wall and is classified into stable and unstable plaques. Stable plaques have a stable morphology and are less likely to rupture, whereas unstable plaques are morphologically unstable and prone to rupture. Under medical guidance, medications such as Ginkgo Leaf Tablets, Xuezhikang Capsules, and Danlou Tablets may be used to promote plaque regression.

Specific medication should be taken under medical supervision. Additionally, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, improve dietary habits, and enhance physical fitness in daily life.
