Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) typically treats acne—also known as acne vulgaris—using methods such as acupuncture, cupping, and oral herbal medicine. Acne is considered a relatively severe condition, particularly prevalent during adolescence. Its development results not only from external factors but also significantly involves internal imbalances. Treatments like acupuncture and cupping help eliminate toxins from the body, thereby achieving therapeutic effects.
