True healing begins from within.
Intractable Skin Disease Clinic
It only works while you apply the ointment — does it flare up again once you stop?
Skin symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg.
You must address the hidden internal toxins and immune imbalance.

Intractable Eczema
Recurring eczema even in adulthood —
the internal heat must be addressed.

Chronic Dermatitis
Facial redness and flaking skin —
an overreaction of the immune system.
🦠
Urticaria & Weeping Eczema
Itching keeps you awake at night;
scratching causes oozing and discharge.
Special Diagnosis System
Skin heals only when the inside clears up
Recurring skin conditions are not simply a 'skin-only problem.' The body fails to expel accumulated toxins, and the overactive immune system manifests through the skin.
When the digestive system (Spleen-Stomach) weakens and toxins accumulate, or when the liver's detoxification function declines, or when the body's thermoregulation breaks down, skin diseases persist and relapse.
At 동제당한의원, we use a Qi-Blood-Yin-Yang 4-Axis Functional Assessment to identify which organs have weakened, where toxins have accumulated, and where heat-toxins (熱毒) and damp-phlegm (濕痰) are lodged.
Rather than masking symptoms with steroids, we flush out internal toxins and restore immune function to cultivate the body's own power to heal the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I stop using steroids?
A. Abruptly stopping steroids can cause rebound flares. Through herbal treatment, we strengthen the skin's immune capacity and guide you through a gradual tapering process.
Q. How long does treatment take?
A. This varies depending on skin turnover cycles and the chronic nature of the condition, but typically at least 3 months of consistent treatment and management is needed.
Q. Is there a healing crisis (Menxuan reaction)?
A. In the early stages of treatment, symptoms may temporarily worsen as toxins are expelled. This is part of the healing process and improvement follows shortly.
