What are the characteristics of chloasma with liver qi stagnation syndrome?
Disease description:
I usually have a quick temper, and recently I noticed the appearance of some chloasma spots; their color is very dark, and even makeup cannot cover them. I visited a TCM doctor, who told me that my chloasma is of the type caused by liver qi stagnation. What are the characteristics of chloasma caused by liver qi stagnation?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
The characteristics of chloasma due to liver qi stagnation mainly include:
1. Color and Distribution: The chloasma appears as bluish-dark brown patches, commonly found across the entire malar region, around the nose, and near the lips, with relatively clear boundaries. This type of chloasma tends to have a wide distribution, significantly affecting facial aesthetics.
2. Accompanying Symptoms: Women with this type of chloasma often experience breast pain, emotional distress, irritability, moodiness, and menstrual irregularities—typical manifestations of liver qi stagnation. These symptoms are closely related to the development of chloasma and reflect the internal condition of liver qi stagnation.
