Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to report a case of hot flush-type rosacea improved by oral administration of Baekho-tang. Methods : The patient visited our clinic due to hot flash symptom on April 16, 2020. Based on the symptoms of hating heat, bloating, sweating, and thirst, traditional medicine Baekho-tang was prescribed. Results : After 5 days of taking Baekho-tang, the symptom score of hot flush improved significantly from 8 to 3. About a week later, most of the symptoms, including hot flush, edema, and burning sensation almost disappeared. After treatment, the follow-up process was conducted for about a month, and it was confirmed that the flushing of the face did not recur and remained improved. Conclusions : After a week of Baekho-tang administration, hot flush, burning sensation, edema and other symptoms associated with rosacea improved overall.

양명열증(陽明熱證)으로 변증(辨證)된 안면홍조형 주사피부염 환자 1례에게 백호탕(白虎湯)을 투여한 결과, 약 1~2주 후 안면홍조가 호전되었음을 확인하였으며, 주증상에 동반되었던 열감 및 기타 제반증상 역시 전반적으로 호전되는 모습을 보였다.
