Background:Atopic dermatitis(AD)is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that currently cannot be completely cured.The allergic constitution is the foundation of AD,and the therapy of regulating constitution through Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)may be a reliable and effective approach to treat AD.This case report presents the therapeutic course of Tuomin-Shizhen-Decoction in treating an adult patient with AD.Case presentation:A 20-year-old adult female visited the outpatient clinic with 5-year medical history of AD,combined with recurrent relapse.She presented with pruritus and dermatitis around the skin of eyes,mouth,neck and chest,and tested positive for multiple allergens.After treatment with Tuomin-Shizhen-Decoction,her skin became smooth and intact,and the pruritus disappeared.The symptoms remained stable without recurrence during the six-month follow-up period,and she tested negative for the allergens that had previously tested positive.Conclusion:The case report suggests that the Tuomin-Shizhen-Decoction,formulated based on the constitution differentiation,disease differentiation,and syndrome differentiation,may be a reliable option for individualized treatment of AD.It can improve the anti-allergic ability by regulating constitution,offering not only significant clinical effects but also a certain degree of long-term control.
