What are the TCM causes and pathogenesis of erysipelas? Erysipelas is an acute inflammation of the skin's reticular lymphatic vessels and superficial connective tissue caused by streptococcal infection. It usually occurs on the lower legs and face, and is one of the common diseases of the lymphatic system. Below, we invite experts from Shanxi Yikang Peripheral Vascular Hospital to introduce the TCM causes and pathogenesis of erysipelas.
When it occurs on the head and face, it is due to the epidemic poison heat in the air or wind-heat evil transforming into fire poison. When it occurs on the waist and hips, it is due to excessive fire in the liver meridian and damp-heat in the spleen meridian boiling together. When it occurs on the lower limbs, it is due to damp-heat descending and transforming into fire poison. In children, it is often caused by congenital fire or congenital toxins. In summary, the onset of erysipelas is always due to blood heat and fire poison.
① Wind-Heat Fire Excess: Due to inherent blood heat, combined with external wind-heat-fire-poison evils, these two evils interact, obstructing the meridians and accumulating in the skin, leading to the onset of disease.
② Liver Meridian Stagnant Fire: Emotional injuries lead to qi stagnation transforming into fire, with excessive fire in the liver meridian and internal burning of fire poison, manifesting externally as skin lesions.
③ Damp-Heat Fire Excess: Irregular diet, excessive consumption of spicy and roasted foods, leads to impaired spleen function, generating internal damp-heat that transforms into fire poison.
④ Poison Evil Internal Invasion: Due to pricks, scratches, nose picking, insect bites, or other external injuries causing skin damage, allowing toxic evils to invade, blocking the meridians, stagnating qi and blood, resulting in erysipelas.
