Abstract

Objectives : This study is to report two cases of chronic skin pruritus improved by Chijasi-tang. Methods : Chijasi-tang was prescribed to two chronic skin pruritus patients. One patient took Chijasi-tang for 30 days and the other took it for 15 days. We compared patients' symptoms before and after treatment using self-made standards. Results : Patients who complained of pruritus on the elbow and thigh, pruritus decreased from NRS 8 to 1, and skin symptoms improved from 16 to 2. The other patient who complained of pruritus in the neck and chest, pruritus improved from NRS 9 to 2, and skin symptoms at the lesion site improved from 12 to 2. Also, accompanied symptoms such as heat of the feet and heartburn almost disappeared. Conclusions : After prescribing Chijasi-tang to two chronic skin pruritus patients, significant improvements were observed. It is thought that Chijasi-tang can be used as the treatment of other skin diseases in the future.
