Why Do Intractable Skin Diseases
Require Special Care?
Intractable skin diseases are not merely cosmetic issues,
but chronic conditions that affect overall quality of life.
Chronic skin disorders like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis
recur due to immune imbalance, poor circulation, and individual constitution.
Systematic care should address the root cause, not just suppress symptoms.
Why Is Integrative
Treatment Important
for Intractable Skin Diseases?
According to the World Health Organization,
skin diseases affect over 30% of the global population and rank among the top 7 causes of disability worldwide.
Psoriasis cases have risen by over 80% in 30 years, with chronic urticaria and seborrheic dermatitis also steadily increasing.

Integrative Treatment
for Intractable Skin Diseases
Simple care isn’t enough-
integrative treatment considering immunity, circulation, and body constitution is key.
Inflammation, poor circulation,
and immune reactions weaken the skin barrier,
causing itching, pain, and dryness.
The epidermis, dermis,
and subcutaneous layers stay in balance,
protecting the body from irritation and infection.
Healthy skin maintains a strong barrier that protects the body,
while skin diseases cause inflammation and damage that weaken this barrier and trigger various symptoms.
For intractable skin diseases, symptom control alone is not enough.
Fundamental treatment helps prevent recurrence and supports long-term recovery.
At Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital,
we consider each patient’s constitution and lifestyle, pursuing lasting recovery rather than temporary relief.
Causes of Intractable
Skin Diseases
Skin diseases are not merely surface problems,
but the result of complex interactions between the immune system, body constitution, and environmental factors.
Without identifying the root cause, treatment may only provide temporary symptom relief.
The causes of skin diseases are complex. Treatment should go beyond symptom relief,
taking an integrative approach to immunity, constitution, and environment.
Pathogenic Factors
of Skin Diseases
in Western and Korean Medicine Perspectives
In Western medicine, skin diseases stem from immune dysfunction, chronic inflammation,
and environmental factors.
In Korean medicine, imbalances such as blood-heat (血熱), damp-heat (濕熱), and blood stasis (瘀血),
along with constitutional weakness, are considered
the main causes of skin diseases.
Western Medical Perspective
· Immune System Dysfunction
· Chronic Inflammatory Response
· Environmental Factors
Korean Medical Perspective
· Blood-Heat (血熱)
· Damp-Heat (濕熱)
· Blood Stasis (瘀血)
· Constitutional Weakness
When both perspectives are integrated, it becomes clear that skin diseases are not merely skin-deep,
but complex conditions closely linked to overall systemic health.
By integrating allergy blood tests with constitutional Korean medicine diagnosis,
Bareuljung identifies root causes
and delivers optimized treatment.
Main Symptoms
of Skin Diseases
Intractable skin diseases are
not merely problems of the skin.
Severe itching, skin cracking, oozing,
and recurring flare-ups
cause significant discomfort
and disruption in daily life.
Poor sleep quality,
reduced focus in study or work,
and psychological withdrawal in relationships
are common among chronic
skin disease patients.

Why Do Intractable Skin Diseases Become Chronic?
Chronic and recurrent skin diseases
are not caused merely by irritation or temporary inflammation.
Even if it begins acutely,
once it becomes chronic,
recurrence is frequent and treatment becomes difficult.
