【Summary】
A 52-year-old woman complained of multiple skin nodules appearing on her neck and forehead around menopause. She sought medical advice due to a flat-round skin nodule diagnosed of lipoma on her left side of waist one week ago. Slightly hard without exudate, it was diagnosed as “phlegm node” by Traditional Chinese medicine. The pattern identification of this patient with multiple skin nodules was noninteraction of the heart and kidney as well as syndrome of intermingled phlegm and blood stasis. Our principles and methods of treatment were interaction of the heart and kidney to treat the root; moreover, rectifying qi and dispersing phlegm, quickening the blood and transforming stasis. Noninteraction of the heart and kidney was the main cause of the patient’s condition so we prescribed Shengmai Yin and Erzhi pills as the main prescription. After taking Chinese medicine for two months, the skin nodule on her left side of waist gradually shrank and finally disappeared; furthermore, the number and the size of multiple skin nodules on her neck and forehead also significantly reduced.
