Abstract:
According to the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), atopic dermatitis (AD) is believed that it is caused by innate constitutional insufficiency and dysfuction of heart and spleen. Thus, the treatment includes strengthening the spleen and clearing dampness, nourishing blood and moisturing skin. This paper reviewed literature about the researches on AD, and summarized the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease in order to investigate new treatment.
