Teo Korean Medicine Clinic Bundang Atopic dermatitis · Psoriasis

Teo Korean Medicine Clinic Bundang - when you are looking into care for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis: Skin conditions, whatever the age, are appearing more often as westernized lifestyle habits take hold.

Please check first

If a rash spreads widely and suddenly in a way unlike usual and comes with fever or chills, the cause may be something needing immediate care, such as erythroderma. In that case, please seek care right away. An atypical rash that does not settle over a long time despite standard treatment needs to be checked for other causes at a dermatology clinic, for example with a biopsy.

The treatment method must also differ according to the cause

Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are not merely skin problems.

The reaction that shows on the skin is only a secondary reaction; the root cause is disruption of the immune system by waste products generated in the body and various stresses and toxins coming from outside.
Therefore, finding the root cause, helping the body release internal toxins, and settling immunity should be the aim of care for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Underlying causes

6 triggers → toxins in the body → symptoms (dryness · papules · scales)

Skin trauma

Stress

Alcohol use

Common questions

What happens if I stop after using steroids?

We advise that whether to adjust existing medications used during treatment, such as steroids, should be discussed with your medical team.
Rather than stopping or changing the dose on your own, you need to confirm a treatment direction suited to your condition through a consultation.
Treatment for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis addresses not only the reactions on the skin but also waste products in the body and immune balance.

Are aggravating factors the same as the root cause?

Skin injury, stress, alcohol, smoking, dry air, and fine dust are listed as triggers that can worsen symptoms.
However, the root cause of atopy and psoriasis is seen as disruption of the immune system by waste products generated in the body and by stress and toxins, so managing triggers alone may not be enough.
We explain the flow in which 6 triggers lead to toxins in the body, which then appear as symptoms such as dryness, papules, and scaling.

Is an atypical rash also atopic dermatitis or psoriasis?

If a rash spreads widely and suddenly in a way unlike usual and comes with fever or chills, it may be another cause such as erythroderma, so immediate care is needed.
On the other hand, if an atypical rash does not improve for a long time even with standard treatment, there are cases where other causes need to be checked at a dermatology clinic with a biopsy or similar.
If there are signs like these, do not view it only as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis; an accurate differential diagnosis is needed first.

How do atopic dermatitis and psoriasis differ from hives?

Hives are a skin immune response that overreacts to stimuli, characterized by the skin suddenly swelling red and itching, and when they last 6 weeks or more they are considered chronic hives.
Stress, eating habits, and an allergic constitution are given as causes, and it may come with abdominal pain, indigestion, or diarrhea.
Because the cause and pattern may differ from atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, an accurate distinction needs to be confirmed through a consultation.

Does national health insurance cover herbal medicine treatment, constitutional acupuncture, and bee venom pharmacopuncture?

Whether national health insurance applies may vary with the treatment item and your individual care.
Exact coverage and out-of-pocket costs need to be confirmed during your consultation.
