Q How long does treatment take?
A Mild cases need about 3 months; moderate or more severe cases require consistent treatment for 6 months or more.
Detailed Answer
The treatment period for atopic dermatitis varies depending on symptom severity, constitution, and environmental exposure. Mild cases show clear improvement within 3 months, while severe or chronic cases are treated for 6 months or more and then continue into a maintenance phase.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we run a two-phase program: intensive treatment (2 months) followed by a transition to a maintenance prescription. During treatment, we document changes with photos of the skin condition to track progress.
