The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatment in patient with herpes zoster opthalmicus. The patient was treated by acupuncture, herbal medicine, Hwangryunheadok-tang(HuanglianFiedu-Tang) and Ginseng pharmacopuncture, and western medicine from July 25th to August 8th 2012. We measured visual analogue scale(VAS) and observed the change of herpes size through the picture using digital camera. Before this treatment, he took western medicine for 8 days from onset but there was no effect. However, when this Korean medical treatment was finished, VAS score changed from 10 to 1. Korean medical treatment was effective in herpes zoster. But in treating herpes zoster antiviral agents of western medicine might be needed in early stage. And further studies are needed to figure out the effects of Korean medical treatment on herpes zoster.
