Background: Atopic dermatitis is chronic eczematous dermatosis characterized by severe itching, localized eruption and chronic relapsing progress and has family history of atopic diseases and hereditary disposition. This Study is attempted in order to estimate the efficacy of herb medication treatment on atopic dermatitis. Objective: We studied 35 patients with atopic dermatitis from October 2001 to September 2002. Methods: We treated them with herb-medication and used the SCORAD index to assess the severity of atopic dermatitis. Results: Of the 35 patients that were treated, the SCORAD index was lowered to 30.5±20(3.5-94) than before of which the SCORAD index was 46.8±18.1(14.9-97.5). Conclusion: On the basis of this study, It should be considered that treatment of atopic dermatitis should be focused on the gastrointestinal system. Moreover a balanced diet should be considered?�
