Skin cancer arises when skin cells become damaged, often due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. There are three primary types: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma, the most perilous variant. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) tackles this condition by addressing underlying patterns holistically rather than directly targeting the illness.
1) Syndrome of internal heat toxins
Characterised by symptoms such as ulceration of skin cancer, secretion of malodorous pus, bitterness and dryness in the mouth, mild fever and restlessness, dry and hard stools, reddish urine, red or bruised tongue with a yellow coating, and a rapid or stringy pulse.
2) Syndrome of internal dampness and toxicity
Manifests as cystic formations in skin cancer, appearing waxy and gradually expanding. Rupture leads to discharge of foul-smelling fluid, accompanied by a sticky mouth, lethargy, fatigue, loose stools, rapid and slippery pulse, dark red tongue, and a thick or yellowish coating.
3) Syndrome of liver stagnation and dampness toxicity
Recognized by itching and oozing of water around the nipple area, resulting in yellow-brown scabs upon drying. Nipple becomes indented and hard to the touch. If present in the vulva, it may spread to inner thighs, buttocks, scrotum, labia, or armpits, causing persistent itching, numbness, and tingling sensations. Pulse tends to be stringy and rapid, with a red tongue and white coating.
