The patients are suffered from hypoalbuminemia, general weakness and fever sign in addition to characteristic skin lesions. So in the treatment of this disease, adequate symptomatic treatment is important with adequate topical skin management.

We concluded that the symptoms of this patient are Sun-symptoms(癬症) and gave him Bangpungtongsung-san(剝脫性皮膚炎) and Geunsun-bang(乾癬方).
