Abstract:
Three cases of dermatosis successfully treated with modified Mao-rensho-shakushozu-to are reported. Case 1 was a 45-year-old male who had been suffering from atopic dermatitis since childhood. He came to our clinic for treatment with Kampo formulas for unchanging symptoms. At first we prescribed Mao-rensho-shakushozu-to-go-byakko-ka-keishi-to, but this formula was not effective. After prescribing Mao-rensho-shakushozu-to-go-eppi-ka-jutsu-to, the dermatitis improved. Case 2 was a 25-year-old male student who had been suffering from atopic dermatitis since he was 19 years old. He responded to steroid ointment, but relapsed frequently after the repeated reduction of steroids. Some Kampo formulas were not effective, but the dermatitis improved after the patient used Mao-rensho-shakushozu-to-go-eppi-ka jutsu-to. Case 3 was a 65-year-old male who had been suffering from psoriasis vulgaris since he was 57. Shakushozu-to-go-byakko-ka-ninjin-to was effective for his psoriasis.
We used modified Mao-rensho-shakushozu-to in the three cases described above be cause the patients had strong itching. It is possible to apply this Kampo formula for dermatitis with strong itching.
