Abstract:
A 69-year-old housewife with chronic eczema was treated by Kampo-medicine. For about 20 years, she had suffered from episodes of general eruptions every summer. At our outpatient clinic, skin lesions, chiefly consisted of papules with erosions, were noticed on bilateral external surface of the nose, the back of right hand and the back of the neck.
At first, decoctions of Keishibukuryo-gan-ka-Daio was prescribed for one month, and afterwards, Keishibukuryo-gan-ka-Daio Yokuinin for the rest. The lesions was completely improved after two or five months of the treatment, and the other skin lesions appeared on bilateral forearms, disappearing also after two or three months of the same design of the treatment. After the therapy by Kampo-medicine, no skin lesions were noticed at least for more than two years.
The therapeutic mechanism of the skin lesions was briefly discussed from both the stand point of “Cell pathology” and that of “Whole body pathology”.
