Abstract

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition linked to endocrine-related hair follicle and sebaceous gland. Since acnes most commonly affect the face, the upper part of the chest and the back, leading to lesions such as comedones, papules, pastules and nodules or cysts, they may greatly greatly affect the patients' appearance and body-mind wellbeing. Other than somatic discomforts, acnes also produce negative impact on the social activities, mental health and emotion, thus compromising the patients' quality of life. Despite numerous therapies for acne, satisfactory results are rarely achieved for repeated keloidal acne. The underlying cause lies in the constitutional changes. The author treated 66 cases using warm needling therapy.
