Abstract

Objectives : Steroids are often administered to atopic patients as hormone preparations, often causing side effects. This study is intended to present the possibility of Korean medicine treatment for patients who have had side effects due to steroids in atopic dermatitis by relieving side effects and improving symptoms through Korean medicine such as Hwangryounhaedok-tang and Siryeong-tang. Methods : 2 patients who had atopic dermatitis and rebound phenomenon after steroids treatment were treated by herbal medicine, herbal acupuncture, acupuncture and external preparations. Photographs of the lesions, SCORAD(Scoring atopic dermatitis) index were used to evaluate the changes in symptoms. Results : The SCORAD index of the first patient improved from 55.6 to 24.3 in 4 months. The SCORAD index of the second patient improved from 44.7 to 21.3 in 3 months. Conclusions : In the situation where symptoms of atopic dermatitis patients due to steroid rebound phenomenon have worsened, Korean medicine treatments played a important role in alleviating symptoms and improving SCORAD index scores.
