Abstract：The theory of collateral diseases and the concept of"interaction between the host and the guest"are interconnected,and both are closely related to the blood vessels.The skin lesion symptoms of acanthosis nigricans are caused by the obstruction of blood collaterals and qi collaterals,and it also represents a continuous state of"interaction between the host and the guest".Based on the theory of collateral diseases and the concept of"interaction between the host and the guest",this article expounds the pathogenesis and evolution process of acanthosis nigricans as"deficiency leading to pathogenic invasion,pathogenic invasion into the collaterals,obstruction of the collaterals,and blood stasis in the collaterals transforming into toxicity",and proposes treatment methods for acanthosis nigricans according to this process,namely,tonifying deficiency to dredge the collaterals,resolving blood stasis to smooth the collaterals,and detoxifying to activate the collaterals,in order to provide new ideas for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of acanthosis nigricans in traditional Chinese medicine.
