Abstract

Objective : to investigate the modalities and treatments with atopic dermatitis. Methods : We made up a questionnaire consisting of symptoms, birth, family history, previous treatments of atopic dermatitis. We interviewed mild to severe 60 atopic dermatitis patients with questionnaire, from August to October, 2008 who were participating in clinical trials of Kyunghee University East-west neo medical center. Results : The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. 49(81.7%) out of 60 patients reported previous or current use of medical treatment, and most common type of medical treatment was topical corticosteroid (95.9%). Oral antihistamine (61.2%), oral corticosteroid (61.2%) were also commonly used. 2. 31(51.7%) out of 60 patients reported previous or current use of oriental medical treatment, and most common type of oriental medical treatment was herbal medicine(100%). Acupuncture (41.9%), Herbal external supplements (22.6%) were also used. 3. 36(60.11% ) out of 60 patients reported previous or current use of folk remedies, and the most common type of folk remedy was extract of tree(Mokcho-ak)(75.0%). Aloe(61.1%), Charcoal(22.2%) were also commonly used. Conclusion : It seems the frequency of folk remedies used were related to severity of AD. However, there were no significant difference between medical treatment and oriental medical treatment.
