Abstract
Objectives : The study is to report a case of acute lymphangitis with tinea pedis treated with pharmacopuncture(Bee venom, Soyeom) and Yeonkyopaedok-san. Methods : The mixed pharmacopuncture(Bee venom, Soyeom) was applied to the lesion area for 7 days, and Yeonkyopaedok-san was administered for 9 days for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Results : After treatment, the symptoms of acute lymphangitis disappeared, and the treatment duration and effect were similar to those when antibiotics were used. Conclusions : Acute lymphangitis can be treated through herbal medicines with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
