加味黃連解毒湯 증류액을 이용한 한포진 치험 1례

Pompholyx is a special vesicular type of hand and foot dermatitis. It is an acute, chronic or recurrent dermatosis of the fingers, palms and soles, characterized by a sudden onset of many deep-seated pruritic clear vesicles. We diagnosed a patient with pompholyx as damp heat and treated with wet dressing by gauze soaked in distilled solution of Gamihwangryunhaedok-tang(Jiaweihuanglianjiedu-tang). After treatment with wet dressing, we observed the improvement. Based on this study, it is considered that wet dressing with Gamihwangryunhaedok-tang(Jiaweihuanglianjiedu-tang) can be applied to the treatment of pompholyx.
