Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effect of Hwaseup-tang for nummular eczema patients. Methods : This study was conducted with five nummular eczema patients who have visited Ryoum Korean Medicine Clinic. They were treated with Hwaseup-tang and acupuncture. In order to evaluate the results of these treatments, we observed the itching condition of the patients and took photographs of the lesions. Results : After Hwaseup-tang medicine treatment, the nummular eczema lesions of five patients were remarkably disappeared and their itching condition was also improved rapidly. Conclusions : These five cases indicate that Hwaseup-tang may be effective in the treating of nummular eczema patient, although the number of cases was limited to five.
