Toxicity” is the adverse reaction of drugs. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has achieved twice the result with half the effort in clinical practice, so the adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine are usually easy to be ignored. However, in recent years, the number of reports on the adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine has gradually increased, and the number of reports on the adverse reactions of orally consumed traditional Chinese medicine preparations, traditional Chinese medicine patches, or traditional Chinese medicine injections has been on a rising trend, which indicates that the adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine have been taken seriously by the people, and it also reveals that there are problems with the clinical use of traditional Chinese medicine as well as with the management of traditional Chinese medicine. This indicates that the adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicines are being emphasized, and also reveals the problems in clinical use and management of traditional Chinese medicines. In this paper, we will discuss the current situation of the clinical application of Chinese medicine, skin-related adverse reactions and their causes produced by Chinese medicine patch and Chinese medicine injection, aiming to provide reference for the clinical application of Chinese medicine.
