Abstract
Objective—To observe the clinical efficacy on pricking bloodletting and cupping therapy combined with Chinese herbal mask in treating acne. Methods—Thirty-seven patients with acne were randomly divided into a treatment group (treated by pricking bloodletting and cupping therapy combined with Chinese herbal mask) and a control group (only by Chinese herbal mask). The therapeutic efficacy was observed after 2-course treatment. Results—The total effective rate in the treatment group was 94.7% versus 61.1% in the control group. According to the statistical management, the total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion—Pricking bloodletting and cupping therapy combined with Chinese herbal mask therapy for acne is more effective than Chinese herbal mask treatment alone.
