Abstract

The number of allergic contact dermatitis patients is steadily increasing but a proper reliability treatment guide is not prepared in Oriental Medicine. Also, the number of clinical cases on allergic contact dermatitis is not sufficient in Oriental medicine. As such, the facial flushing of allergic contact dermatitis which has been improved by infra-red therapy is significant in its treatment purpose. We reported on 43-year old male patient with allergic contact dermatitis. We treated him with herbal concoction, acupuncture, infra-red therapy and cupping therapy. We have received a good result in this case by using the combination of infra-red therapy. We reached a conclusion that using infra-red therapy can improve the facial flushing of patient with allergic contact dermatitis. However, further research on the effect of infra-red therapy for these symptoms is desired.

알레르기성 접촉 피부염을 진단 받고 양방치료를 받았으나 별무 호전하던 환자에게 침치료와 양격산가감방을 복용하여 약 2개월간 증상이 초기보다 증상이 완화되는 효과가 있었다. 그러나 약물 치료를 배제하고 침치료만 시행하던 중 환자가 상열감 및 소양감은 거의 소실되었으나 홍조 증상이 정체 양상을 보였고 이에 저자는 치료후기를 혈조 상태로 변증하고 환자의 환부에 경피적외선조사요법을 시행하여 정체중이던 안면홍조 상태가 최근 약 1달간 10회의 치료로 환자가 만족할만한 효과가 있었다.
