Abstract
Exfoliative dermatitis is a name of a group of symptoms which is characterized by red rash, itching and scale in almost whole body. The patients are suffered from hypoalbuminemia, general weakness and fever sign in addition to characteristic skin lesions. So in the treatment of this disease, adequate symptomatic treatment is important with adequate topical skin management. We experienced a 67 year old Korean male patient diagnosed as exfoliative dermatitis based on clinical symptoms. We concluded that the symptoms of this patient are Sun-symptoms(癬症) and gave him Sunpunghwangi-san(宣風換肌散) and Chungdae-san(靑黛散). After taking herbal medicine, clinical improvement was noticed. Based on this experience, both internal and external use of oriental medicine have a good effect on exfoliative dermatitis.
