2016.7.22  First visit, eczema on both dorsum of feet, 2-3 months, severely itchy and heat. Before treatment, the patient used external unguents from the drug store for 1.5 months, but no improvement.

2016.7.26, 7.28 After the last treatment, some papula turns out purulence, with itchy, heat, stabbing and some desquamative dry skin. For TCM that's a normal process as " Removing Disease Response" when we cure derma disease. 2016.7.30 The range of eczema starts downsizing. The patient describes the degree and frequency of itchy all less. Stabbing & heat disappear. 2016.8.1 The red of eczema obviously turns light. Less itchy, purulence disappeared, only some dry skin left. 2016.8.4 The skin color turns out normal. No itchy. This stage cured in a nice result. 2016. 8.11 After cured, the patient ignored the rule of derma treatment, which we always emphasize on avoiding certain food, therefore, after eating seafood, eczema turns itchy and red so she came back for treatment. 2016.8.15 After re-therapy of acupuncture and herbal, we save back the " Mis-diet" result. Less red and itchy. 2016. 8.26 Both dorsum of feet turn normal and no itchy. For steady recovery, we keep once a week of regular therapy and ask the patient to follow the diet and a good lifestyle. 2017.2.2 The patient keeps maintenance therapy and get treatment for catching a cold. We see the skin still keep a steady situation. 2017. 5.6 After around 10 months since the case first visit, we follow up patient's situation, as description, admit sometimes miss-eat or stay up late, but all in control. Conclusively it's a satisfied and effective treatment result. For dermal treatment, we suggest patient follow the diet we instruct, and no any panic to the " Removing Disease Response" since it's the necessary process that pathogenic factor goes out from deep of body. As patients adjust their diet and lifestyle, acupuncture & herbal therapy show the effectiveness and safety that no drug dependence and side effects caused by drug or hormone therapy. * Add, about eczema: Eczema is a skin inflammation reaction which shows severe itchy and caused by a variety of internal and external factors.
