However, many people do not know how to scrape to remove acne. So, where should we scrape to remove acne?

First, where should we scrape to remove acne? Through scraping, the toxins originally on the face can be transferred to other parts of the body, and the blood stasis and lesions in the blood vessels can be discharged from the body through "sha", which helps to improve the body's circulation and damp-heat constitution, activate cells, and thus improve the phenomenon of acne. The heat and blood stasis in the lung meridian cannot be relieved, or the accumulated heat in the lung meridian rushes up to the head and face, fumigating the skin, resulting in local blood heat accumulation, qi and blood stasis, and causing skin acne. Lung meridian wind-heat type acne often occurs on the forehead, around the nose, and on both sides of the cheeks. The particles are large, dark red, tender or red and swollen, and there may also be pus. Most of them are dense small particles, but there are also scattered spots. It is usually accompanied by yellow urine, dry stool, and foul smell in the mouth. Dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach steam up to the skin, and the dampness and heat fight each other to form acne. Overeating of spicy and greasy food will lead to the internal generation of dampness and heat and unfavorable Qi movement, with abnormal ascending and descending. The dampness and heat will accumulate inside and cannot descend downwards. Instead, they will go up through the meridians to the face, accumulate in the skin, and form acne.

Second, acne is mostly distributed on the forehead, nose, chest and back, and is more common in oily or mixed skin. The acne may have nodules, blackheads or whiteheads, redness and itching, and tenderness when pressed; women's symptoms are more severe before menstruation and can be relieved after menstruation, with a greasy yellow tongue coating; the symptoms recur repeatedly and do not heal for many years.

The chest, stomach and lung meridians are distributed here, so Chize is paired with Feishu to relieve the stagnant heat in the lung meridian. The back is where the foot Taiyang meridian and Governor Vessel pass, so Dazhui and Weizhong are selected to reach the Governor Vessel and the stagnant heat in the Taiyang meridian. The Lung Meridian and the Large Intestine Meridian are exterior and interior to each other. Hegu combined with Quchi can relieve the stagnant heat in the skin and clear away damp heat. He is used for internal treatment, Ying is used for body heat. Take the Hegu and Zusanli points under the stomach, and the Ying point Neiting to clear the bowels and eliminate heat.
