We observed and treated a 25 year-old male who had been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. Even though he had been treated with western medicine, he still complained of severe itching, erythema, lichenification, scaling, dryness, oozing and insomnia. We treated him with general management, acupuncture, herbal irrigation, aromatherapy and three kinds of herb-medication (Sopung-san, Chunghulsamul-tang, Saenghyulyunbu-yum) without steroids. Having been treated for 60 days, his symptoms were reduced and mild grade in SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis).
