Current Status and Development of Chinese Dermatology Nursing

With the unique theory of evidence-based care, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown its unique advantages, especially in the treatment and care of dermatological diseases. When treating skin diseases, TCM dermatological care not only focuses on local lesions, but also pays more attention to overall conditioning. By means of external application of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, cupping and tuina, combined with modern nursing techniques, TCM dermatological care significantly improves the recovery rate of patients, especially in the treatment of chronic skin diseases (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, etc.), which demonstrates a strong advantage. In this paper, we will discuss the basic concepts, nursing tools, current status of clinical application, challenges and future development direction of TCM dermatological care, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for improving TCM dermatological care.
