Chloasma is closely related to the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body and the disharmony of qi and blood. Local spots should be treated through the adjustment of the body's overall condition, rather than limited to the treatment of local plaques.

If the spot disease occurs on the skin and the disease is internal, the method of "external disease and internal treatment" should be adopted. Qi and blood are the material basis of human life activities. When qi moves, blood moves, and when qi stagnates, blood coagulates.
