Abstract

Objective : Atopic dermatitis is a prevalent disease. Taeyeol-go(TYG) is a herbal ointment which was expected to useful for treatment of atopic dermatitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of TYG on atopic dermatitis. Methods : Patients with atopic dermatitis applied TYG twice daily for 1 week. Clinical extent, intensity and subjective symptom were assessed by scoring atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) index before and after treatment. Results : 10 patients(4 male, 6 female), 3 to 37 years of age(mean 14.6${\pm}$9.52 years old), 2 to 31 years of onset(mean 11.4${\pm}$8.54 years), finished study. After treatment extent(p<0.01), intensity(p<0.005), subjective symptom(p<0.002) and total SCORAD index(p<0.002) was significantly decreased than before treatment. Conclusion : These results suggest that TYG is an effective therapeutic method for atopic dermatitis. Further studies in the form of randomized controled trail are needed.
