In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is traditionally associated with wind, heat, and dryness on the surface paired with dampness underneath, along with an underlying blood deficiency. This traditional framework is not a medical diagnosis, and persistent or unexplained skin changes should be evaluated by a physician, since certain internal conditions can also show up as skin changes and are worth ruling out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e⚠️ Important:\u003c\/b\u003e This formula is a complement to, not a substitute for, medical care.
