Description

Atopic dermatitis is influenced by numerous environmental factors, as well as various hereditary factors. This variety of factors makes therapy difficult, and necessitates treatment on an individual, case-by-case basis.<br>We report the case of a 21-year old woman with atopic dermatitis. The patient underwent acupuncture 11 times, in accordance with traditional Chinese medicine theory, in addition to her medicaments. This treatment resulted in improvement of her skin eruptions, QOL, IgE-RIST and eosinophils. This may demonstrate that concomitant use of acupuncture therapy is effective in the improvement of atopic dermatitis.
