Abstract:
Twenty-seven cases with verruca vulgaris were examined in which the treatment consisted of oral administration of biscoclaurin alkaloids and Kampo medicine (Jumi-haidoku-to) with Siun-ko ointment. Seven of these cases were cured within one month-12 cases were cured within three months; and 8 cases required more than 3 months for a cure to be effected. However, there were no regressions or ineffective cases. Histopathological features of 5 cases examined after two or four weeks usage of Siun-ko ointment showed swelling of keratinocytes with formation of lacunae or fissures. This combination is thought to be an effective and useful treatment.
