Chloasma and vitiligo are refractory conditions of pigmentary skin disorders. Chloasma frequently occurs in adult females and the risk is higher during childbearing age. There are no ideal therapies in biomedicine but in Chinese medicine the treatment of chloasma is based on harmonizing qi, blood, yin and yang. Vitiligo is a skin disease which is easy to diagnose since it involves depigmentation, however it is hard to cure. Its mechanism is unclear and no effective treatments in biomedicine have been found to date. Even in Chinese medicine it is only recently that this disease has been associated with deficiency of the liver and Kidney, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Therefore the principles of nourishing the liver and kidney, invigorating blood to dispel stasis and regulating qi and blood are applied.
