Abstract:
Exfoliative dermatitis is caused by various etiologic factors including preceding dermatosis, drug-use, malignancy-related reasons and idiopathies. We present an exfoliative dermatitis caused by topical application of the herbal extract, Saururus chinesis baill. Saururus chinesis bail has been used traditionally as a folk remedy for various kinds of dermatoses in Korea. Therefore, the public should be warned of indiscreetly-used, natural, but not purified, herbal products.
