Abstract
Backgrounds:Pompholyx is a distinctive reaction pattern presenting as symmetric vesicular hand and foot dermatitis. Other than acute symptoms like itching and vesicles, chronic changes with scaling, fissure and pain may follow. As patients are treated by steroid for a long period, it tends to present side effects after quitting steroid treatment. Objectives : This study was carried out to investigate the effect of carbon arc lamp therapy and oriental medical therapy that venesection therapy, ointments and herbal medicine on chronic plantar pompholyx including steroids side effects.

Methods: We treated one case of chronic plantar pompholyx which had continued about 10 years, including steroids side effects with venesection therapy, carbon arc lamp therapy, ointments and herbal medicine. To evaluate the results of this treatment, we categorized symptoms into six items which are vesicles, itching, fissures, pain, erosions and scales.

Results:Except mild itching, vesicles and scales in a small area, all the symptoms were subsided.

Conslusions:It is considered that various kinds of oriental medical therapy including carbon arc lamp therapy could replace steroid therapy which has many side effects.
