Q. My hives seem to have gotten worse after starting treatment (Herxheimer reaction).

A.

This could be a "healing crisis," where symptoms temporarily worsen as deep-seated toxins are expelled from the body. It is part of the healing process and usually subsides within 1-2 weeks.

📝 Detailed Answer

한방 치료 초기에는 잠복해 있던 독소가 피부 겉으로 밀려나옵니다.

  • 배독 과정: 억눌려 있던 염증 반응이 활성화되며 독소 제거
  • 구별법: 피부는 뒤집어졌지만 컨디션(수면, 대소변, 소화)은 좋아진다면 긍정적 신호
  • 대처: 당황하지 말고 의료진과 상담하여 약의 농도를 조절하거나 침 치료를 병행합니다.
💡 긍정적 신호

"비온 뒤에 땅이 굳는다"는 말처럼, 명현 과정을 거치고 나면 재발 없는 튼튼한 피부가 됩니다.
