Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the case of contact dermatitis on the burn lesion treated with Korean medicine treatment including Bangpoongtongseongsan gagam, Jaeumganghwatang gagam and pharmacopuncture. Methods : A 28-year-old female patient had complaints of erythema, swelling, pruritus, exudate due to contact dermatitis caused by the band used to treat the left forearm burn lesion from February 10, 2024. The patient visited Dong-Eui Korean medicine university hospital on February 19, 2024, and we treated this patient with herbal medicine, pharmacopuncture, and western medicine. The effects of treatments were evaluated by photo comparision, visual analogue scale(VAS), dermatology life quality index(DLQI) and sleep disorder score. Results : After treatment, the patient's symptoms improved. VAS of pruritus was decreased from 9 to 0, DLQI was decreased 25 to 0 and sleep disorder score was decreased 7 to 0. Conclusions : The results suggest the Korean medicine treatment including herbal medicine and pharmacopuncture could be effective in treating patient with contact dermatitis.
