A Literature study on the Erythema nodosum

Erythema nodosum is a nodular erythematous eruption usually limited to the low extremities. Erythema nodosum seems to be Gwadungjun(瓜藤纏) and Damp-heat flow(濕毒流注) in oriental medicine. The symptom of erythema nodosum is similar to that of Gwadungjun, so we investigated the literatures of oriental medicine and recet medicine. The results were summarized as follows; 1. In Oriental medicine, erythema nodosum regarded as Damp-heat flow and Gwadungjun. 2. Inflammatory nodus of lower extremity, ie, similar to Gwadungjun, Damp-heat flow, Bichonbal(비천發), Samnibal(三里發), Ududok(魚두毒), etc. 3. Erythema nodosum results from inner damp-heat(內有濕熱), affection due to pathogenic wind(外感風邪). 4. Treatment is to clear away heat(淸熱), remove dampness(利濕), heat from blood(凉血), cold-damp(祛寒), and promote blood flood(活血通絡). 5. We can use Bangpungtongsungsan(防風通聖散), Sopunghwa1hyultang(疏風活血湯), and Danguijumtongtang(當歸拈通湯), etc.
