Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Molluscum Contagiosum is a contagious disease most often seen in children. It is caused by molluscum contagiosum virus(MCV-1,2). The purpose of this study is to report three cases of Molluscum Contagiosum children treated by oriental medicine.
Methods: The subjects are in regard to children diagnosed as Molluscum Contagiosum. We treated three children with herbal medicine(Gwakhyangjeonggisangamibang).
Results: After treatment, the symptoms(papule on the whole body and pruritus) of Molluscum Contagiosum were improved. Two children of them were cured completely and the one child still appealed a little itching. But, the one child had atopic dermatitis, and suffered from itching primarily, so after treatment the itching sign decreased rather than before an attack of Molluscum Contagiosum.
Conclusions: This study shows that oriental medicine can be an effective treatment for Molluscum Contagiosum. And the further study is needed with more cases and longer duration.
