Abstract |
Atopic eczema (AE) or atopic dermatitis is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disease. The prevalence and burden of AE are increasing globally. Systemic immunomodulating medications including corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs are efficacious agents for difficult-to-treat or refractory moderate or severe AE, but are not used routinely due to safety concerns. Some AE patients reported using complementary and alternative medicines including Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). A Cochrane systematic review of 28 studies involving 2,306 AE participants found an oral CHM formula could improve quality of life in AE children. This article is protected by copyright.
