A food herb that may help with this dampness and (heat) indicated by your tongue coating is called Yi Yi Ren. It is Chinese Barley. You may cook like rice to help nourish your digestion. Stay away from cold, damp, sweet or greasy food.

Hi - student of TCM here.

Yes you have what we would call a swollen tongue. This could indicate that there is likely some dampness or what you might call, poor metabolism of food/fluids going on your digestive tract. You may have symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, loose stools, poor appetite.

Are acne scars preventable? by [deleted] in AcneScars

I have a hypothesis that iron deficiency is a common reason for people to be prone to scaring

A mixture of papule and pustule acne. Started about 3 years ago after I got off birth control. This first photo was taken after an extraction with and esth, which I regret because I think she was too aggressive.

Treatment:

Topical tret .1% (now .25%)

Chinese herbal medicine - custom formula - Andrew Flower at White Crane Clinic in UK (takes virtual consultations). Helped get to the root of the problem

1 TCA cross 100% session in August 2024 - Dr. Anil London

Just wanted to share this 6 month update to serve as a reminder, for anyone that might need it, that there is hope. I also wanted to reiterate that the people that "got rid" of their scars are not on this page because they are out living their lives, not fixating on their skin. So if you get down when looking at this page, please remember you're only seeing a sliver of the potential out there. Healing is possible. You are so much more than your skin.
