Initial diagnosis revealed blood deficiency with heat. Did Acupuncture to alleviate pain and itching, accompanied by the herbal formula ‘Jing Jie Lian Qiao Tang,' for one week, yielding limited improvement. And still has a low-grade fever.
Subsequently, ‘Dang Gui Yin Zi’ was used for two weeks, resulting in improved symptoms but with the onset of loose stools. The patient prefers to wash the local area with hot water.
