Treating atopic dermatitis patients, who have used steroid, only through Chinese herb medication, it often happens that extract medicine doesn't work well and infusion one is needed.
We treat with Seiun-haidoku-in-kagen “Ekisin-ittoku” and its amount, to stop using steroid, often exceeds as twice or three times much as ordinary use. Especially Sekko needs large quantities, 40-100g a day for adults to get out of steroid.
In early treatments, some patients couldn't stop applying steroid because of insufficient increase of Sekko, but after increasing its amount until it have effects, they all have got out of steroid.
It is effective to take herb-medicated bath and some original ointment at the same time. We report on the case in which one can withdraw from steroid by these treatments.
