    Abstract:
    To differentiate and type the acne vulgaris patients and to treat them with our own recipes for dissipating heat and detoxifying in traditional Chinese medicine 148 cases were typed and trated as: carbuncles and stasis (84 cases), carbuncles and damp 'toxins' (16) and damp 'toxins' and stasis (48) as well as the contrast groups of 60 patients that treated with chemical medicines. The results were: cured 86 cases (58%); significantly effective 38 cases (26%); effective 18 cases (12%); and ineffective 6 cases (4%). The contrast groups had the results of: cured 10 (17%), significantly effective 14(23%), effective 21(35%) and ineffective 15(25%). The total effective rates of both groups were 96 and 75% (P < 0.01). Following the principles of traditional Chinese medicine in differentiating and typing the acne vulgaris patients and treating them accordingly with recipes of dissipating heat and detoxifying, dissipating heat and drying the dram, eliminating the stagnant and detoxifying is an effective treatment for clinic application.
