Q I'm looking for a clinic to visit near Dong-gu, Incheon. How does the first visit work?
A At the first visit, we listen in detail about when, where, and how repeatedly the folliculitis appears, along with your lifestyle and eating habits, and examine your skin and overall condition. Based on this, we determine the pattern diagnosis, treatment plan, herbal prescription, and lifestyle guidance together.
Detailed Answer
When you first come in, we thoroughly ask and examine since when and in which areas the pustules recur, what irritations such as sweat, shaving, and clothing friction are involved, and how your meals, sleep, and stress are. If you are using any topical or oral medications, we take them into account as well. Based on this, we guide you on a treatment direction and management approach suited to your body's condition.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Even for the same folliculitis, the prescription differs depending on where the damp-heat is concentrated and how over-reactive the immune system is. At Dongjedang, we consider it important to fully grasp the person's pattern at the first visit and to build a plan tailored to the root cause of recurrence, rather than merely suppressing surface inflammation.
