Dyshidrotic eczema is a eczema making vesicles at the hand and foot with pruritus, tend to chronically recurred. It is caused to retention of Damp-heat in interior(濕熱蘊積), interior heat due to Yin deficiency(陰虛內熱) in Oriental medicine. We treated a patient who suffered from recurred dyshidrotic eczema differentiated with retention of Damp-heat in interior(濕熱蘊積) with Chunggisangagam(淸肌散加減). After about 30 days of treatment with Chunggisangagam(淸肌散加減), acupunture and aroma therapy, we observed an improvement. Based on this experience, it is considered that the Oriental medicine can be applied to the treatment of dyshidrotic eczema.
