Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Xue Fu Zhu Yu Wan can be used to treat melasma to some extent, especially melasma caused by Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Xue Fu Zhu Yu Wan has the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, regulating Qi to relieve pain, thereby improving blood circulation and promoting the metabolism of facial pigmentation, achieving the effect of removing spots. Melasma may also be associated with other factors such as heredity, sun exposure, and endocrine disorders, in addition to Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Therefore, Xue Fu Zhu Yu Wan may not be effective for all patients with melasma, and its therapeutic effect may vary among individuals.
When using Xue Fu Zhu Yu Wan to treat melasma, the following should be noted:
1. Follow medical advice for medication to ensure safety and effectiveness.
2. Combine with other treatment methods, such as sun protection and topical anti-melasma medications, to enhance treatment outcomes.
3. Monitor changes in the condition and adjust the treatment plan promptly.
