Key points for diagnosis
The main points for diagnosis are skin injuries such as skin flush, blister, exudate, erosion and scab of the nasal vestibule, the part around nostrils and upper lip.
1. In the case of acute attack, the patient has local skin flush, blister, ulceration, exudate and crust; at the chronic stage, the patient has skin pachynsis, pachylosis,squame, rhagas, and lichenification, etc.
2. The affected part is itching or ha burning sensation.
3. It is easy to recur.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
