Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views itchy vesicular rashes through a holistic lens, differing from the Western focus on external factors and immune response. In TCM, such rashes are seen as manifestations of internal imbalances and disharmonies within the body's systems.

It emphasizes the importance of identifying the underlying pattern of disharmony, as symptoms like itchy vesicular rashes can arise from various TCM patterns. Treatment in TCM is thus tailored to address these specific patterns, aiming to restore balance and harmony in the body.
