Abstract

|
|
Objectives Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is a rare, chronic neutrophilic dermatoses that was first described in 1956. The eruption is characterized by flaccid pustules grouped in a circinate pattern on normal or erythematous skin. We treated a case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis in one patient; there have been no former reports of this disease treated by oriental medicine. We present this case because we considered it to be useful as a possible Oriental medicine treatment for subcorneal pustular dermatosis, and something that canbe used for further study of neutrophilic dermatoses.
Method: We used herbal medication, acupuncture, herbal wet dressing, herbal ointment, cupping therapy and phototherapy during treatment. We assessed symptoms during treatment and also carried out blood tests through out.
Result: We observed and treated a case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis patient and after treatment the patient’s objective and subjective symptoms showed noticeable improvement.
Conclusion: We suggest that subcorneal pustualr dermatosis can be treated by Oriental medicine therapy effectively. We expect these study results will help provide useful evidence of Oriental medicine as an effective treatment for subcorneal pustualr dermatosis.
