Objectives
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of external preparation containing herbal extract(Soporae Radix, Autantii Immaturus Fructus, Schizonepetae Spica, Forsythia fructus and Portulacea Herba) on atopic dermatitis patients.

Methods
A total of 33 patients who visited the Dept. of Oriental Medical Opthalmology & Otolaryngology & Dermatology of oriental hospital of Daejeon university from February 2012 to February 2013 were engaged in this study. Patients who corresponded the requirements were enrolled in the study. This study shows symptom comparisons before and after the use of this product. Effectiveness was evaluated through SCORAD(Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis) Index, and the quality of life scale was conducted through Skindex-29.

Results
1.Comparison of the general changes through SCORAD Index indicated that the experimental group showed more statistically significant declines than the placebo group after the two-week use.
2.Comparison of changes in intensity criteria(Erythema, Edema, Oozing, Excoriation) through SCORAD Index indicated that the experimental group showed more statistically significant declines than the placebo group after the two-week use.
3.Comparison of changes in subjective symptoms through SCORAD Index indicated that the experimental group showed no statistically remarkable changes.
4.Comparison of changes in the body parts(Upperlimb) through SCORAD Index indicated the experimental group showed statistically significant changes after the two-week use.
5.Comparison of the general changes in quality of life through Skindex-29 indicated that the total score from experimental group showed statistically significant changes after the four-week use.

Conclusion
This study, evaluated through SCORAD Index, indicated that the treatment with the external preparation containing herbal extract has a statistically marginal significance of efficacy on atopic dermatitis patients in the short term.
