There are hard lumps on my face due to inflammation

I believe we have all experienced the feeling of getting angry. Sometimes the inflammation is very serious. Not only does the mouth blister and peel to the point where I can’t eat normally, but even defecation is not smooth because of the burning pain in the anus. The thing girls fear most when they have a sore throat is getting blisters on their faces, which we call acne. These blisters are not only hard, but also difficult to heal. So what methods can we use to treat the hard blisters that appear on the face due to inflammation?

It is more likely that the problem is caused by getting angry.

"Getting angry" is a folk slang, also known as "heat", which can be explained from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory and belongs to the category of heat syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the yin and yang of the human body are out of balance and the internal fire is strong, it will cause internal heat. Therefore, the so-called "fire" is used to describe certain hot symptoms in the body, and getting angry is the internal heat symptom that appears after the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body. Specific symptoms include red and swollen eyes, erosion at the corners of the mouth, yellow urine, toothache, sore throat, etc. "Getting angry" is more likely to occur in dry climates and continuous hot and humid weather.

It is generally believed that "fire" can be divided into two categories: "real fire" and "false fire". The common types of "fire" in clinical practice are "heart fire" and "liver fire". The solution is to "remove heat", which is the Chinese medicine method of clearing heat and purging fire. You can take yin-nourishing, heat-clearing, detoxifying and swelling-reducing medicines, or you can use Chinese medicine acupuncture, cupping, massage and other therapies. In daily life, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and eat less spicy, fried and other hot foods.
