Introduction : Atopic dermatitis(AD) is chronic eczematous dermatitis which is related strongly to a family history of atopic disease and hereditary disposition. Adolescence and adult atopic dermatitis (AAD) patients have been overlooked because they were relatively small population and AAD were considered merely consecutive of infant and childhood AD. Objective : The purpose of this study was to estimate the efficacy of oriental medical treatment and management on chromic AAD with nummular eczema and breast eczema. Methods : We tented this case with herb-medication, herb-irrigation, acupuncture, negative therapy, full spectrum visible lay therapy (by carbon arc) and external application (SA1, Siwon Ilhwang-Go). We observed for 7 months. Results : The grades of the severity of AD with nummular eczema, breast eczema were lower only by the oriental medical treatments and managements. Conclusion : Considering the above results, more study is needed on the case with AAD with diffuse nummular eczema, effectiveness of external application and correlation between immunological and results of oriental media treatments.

Atopic Dermatitis has a number of characteristic symptoms, including itchy red spots and acute rashes that can ooze fluid and/or crust over. Currently, no cure exists as the fundamental cause of Atopic Dermatitis is not yet known. In this paper, the author reports on a case study in which Atopic Dermatitis patients are successfully treated by way of sweating. The described treatment method, called Poison Extraction Method, takes advantage of medical benefits of perspiring in hot bath or sauna. It assumes that the chronic symptoms suffered by Atopic Dermatitis patients are largely due to overuse of steroid-based ointments and attempts to extract resulting toxic elements by having patients sweat in either a hot bath or sauna or both. The exact prescription for sweating depends on the severity of the symptoms of individual patients. The described treatment has been successfully tested in a clinical trial, which we report in this paper.

Objective : This study investigated results of treatment of Atopic Dermatitis(AD) patients diagnosed as damp-heat type with herbal medicine and wet dreesing. Method : Six AD subjects diagnosed as damp-heat type were selected from the outpatient department of East-West Neo Medical Center in the period of Dec. 2006 to Feb. 2007. Each subject was treated with herbal medicine and wet dressing. Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis(SCORAD) was used to evaluate the effect of treatment and pictures were taken of the Atopic dermatitis lesions. Result & Conclusion : We observed improvement on SCORAD score, especially intensity score of damp-heat type when they were treated with herbal medicine and wet dressing. However, it is less effective and AD often recurs in case of chronic adult-type AD. In addition, nipple eczema in some patients has showed a tendency to improve slowly and recur easily compared to other lesions.

Methods: This study employed a qualitative research design. Seven mothers of preschoolers with atopic dermatitis were interviewed and the data were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological method. Results: Five main themes and 12 theme clusters emerged. The 5 main themes were 1) the mother's enduring heartache from the conflict that arise among family members, 2) the complete loss of daily happiness, 3) the steady stream of emotional fluctuations, 4) struggling to bear the heavy financial burden, and, 5) a life of hope accompanied by stress.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense pruritus and the course marked by exacerbation and remission. It has the characteristic symptoms of dry, itchy, scaly skin with cracks by typical distribution of lesions. Even though the etiology of atopic dermatitis is not fully understood, it is considered an allergic reaction whose onset is frequently and strongly associated with both hereditary and environmental factors. In the present clinical study, we studied the efficacy of internal herb-medicine, external herb medicine - ex. dermal oints, aqueous solutions, etc -, and steam therapy. The patient's SCORAD index was lowered 55.8 than before of which the SCORAD index was 74.8. On the basis of this study, it should be considered that the treatment of atopic dermatitis should be focused on the external therapy as steam therapy, dermal oint, a aqueous solution etc.

연구목적 : 본 연구에서는 소아청소년들의 아토피 피부염과 주의력결핍과잉행동장애 (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder : ADHD)의 관계에 대하여 알아보고, 더 나아가서 아토피 피부염 환자를 MAST 양성 및 음성의 아토피 피부염 환자로 분류하여 ADHD와의 관계에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 본 연구에는 아토피 피부염 아동 69명과 정상 대조군 42명이 참여하였다. 피부과 전문의가 아토피 피부염에 대하여 평가하고 중증도를 측정하였으며, 아토피 피부염 아동을 대상으로 MAST 검사를 시행하였다. 부모용 ADHD 평가척도로 환자군 및 대조군의 ADHD 증상을 평가하였다. 결과: 아토피 피부염 환자군에서 정상 대조군에 비해 ADHD 평가척도의 총점, 주의력결핍 및 과잉행동/충동성 증상의 점수가 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(t=3.35, p<0.01 ; t=6.41, p<0.01 ; t=3.93, p<0.01). ADHD로 정의된 아토피 피부염 환자군 중 과잉행동/충동성 군에서 주의력결핍 군에 비해 중등도의 아토피 피부염 환자의 수가 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. $({\chi}^2=4.74,\;p=0.04)$. MAST 검사에서 양성 반응을 보인 아토피 피부염 환자들에서 MAST 음성 반응을 보인 환자들에 비해 ADHD의 증상이 더 높은 비율로 나타났다. $({\chi}^2=9.82,\;p<0.01)$.
