Background:
Allergic cutaneous vasculitis (ACV) is a difficult disease to treat. At present, there is no effective treatment for this condition. Traditionally, immunosuppressants and hormones have been primarily used in its management, but the treatment effect is suboptimal, and it has several side effects.
Case Summary:
We present the case of a 19-year-old woman who presented at our hospital with a four-year history of symmetric skin lesions mainly affecting her lower extremities. She had previously undergone treatment with prednisolone acetate, cetirizine hydrochloride, and loratadine tablets but had not experienced any relief in her condition. Thereafter, she was treated with oral traditional Chinese medicine. Her skin damage gradually improved within two months of treatment initiation. After six months, the skin ulcers had completely subsided. No evidence of skin ulcer recurrence was observed during the subsequent follow-up. This report presents the first case of a female patient who received oral Danggui Sini decoction for the treatment of ACV.
Conclusion:
Danggui Sini decoction may be a promising oral treatment for ACV patients.
