The case report is from a 42 years old female patient presented with lesions of small blisters bilaterally spread all over her arms and legs. The blisters often become very itchy and has affected the patient for over 5 years. The blisters became more severe during the past 2 months. She is prescribed Si-Wu-Xiao-Feng decoction to drink daily 30 minutes after breakfast and dinner. The TCM herb composition of the Si-Wu-Xiao-Feng Decoction is adjusted after each follow up according to the severity and condition of the blisters. She is also prescribed a Topical Huang Qin Cream. This is an extemporaneous formulation prepared by the Institute of Thai-Chinese Medicine Mae Fah Luang University. After 6 months of treatment, the lesions of blisters, papules and scaly skin has recovered back to normal skin. After treatment was discontinued, the patient was followed up at 2 weeks and shown no eruption of blisters or signs of itchiness. Moreover, the patient liver and kidney function were measured at the 3rd month during the treatment. All parameters were within normal range. In conclusion, treating Atopic Dermatitis with the combination of Si-Wu-Xiao-Feng decoction and Topical Huang Qin Cream has shown good efficacy.
