We successfully treated a patient with palmoplantar pustulosis, with a combined formulation of hainosankyuto and maobushisaishinto. The patient was a 64-year-old female, who had frequently occurring pustulae of about 2 mm in size on her palms and soles, from about May 2000. These pustulae became a crust over time, and the skin peeled off and healed. However, pustulae would persist again every two weeks. We diagnosed this as palmoplantar pustulosis and administered hainosankyuto, but with limited results, whereupon we added maobushisaishinto. As a result of this combined hainosankyuto and maobushisaishinto formulation, our patient with palmoplantar pustulosis recovered significantly after 4 weeks.
