Abstract
Objectives : This study aims to report a case of chin area folliculitis improved by oral administration of Gyejigadaehwang-tang. Methods : The patient of this study visited our hospital with purulent lesions accompanied by erythema, papules and pustules around the chin area that have recurred over 10 years. Based on the patient's tendency of chills and constipation, Gyejigadaehwang-tang was prescribed. Results : About a month later, most of the skin symptoms improved (Total Folliculitis Symptom score 11→2), and only brown marks and mild erythema due to pigmentation after inflammation, were observed. Symptoms related to constipation also improved from 13 to 4 points. In the follow-up process after the treatment, It was confirmed that the symptoms of folliculitis did not recur. Conclusions : After taking Gyejigadaehwang-tang for a month, purulent lesions generally improved. Symptoms related to constipation also diminished, allowing regular bowel movements once a day.
