Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medicine therapy in a pediatric patient with recurrent Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) accompanied by contact dermatitis. Methods: A 12-year-old boy who had experienced HSP in 2023 presented with recurrence in 2024, during which contact dermatitis on the dorsum of the foot developed caused by wearing slippers. He received Korean medicine therapy alone for six days, including Hyeonggaeyeongyotang-gagam, Hwangryunhaedok- tang wet dressing, and acupuncture. Photographs of skin lesions and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate treatment outcomes. Results: At the end of treatment, the patient’s HSP symptoms, including purpura on the lower extremities, arthralgia, and abdominal pain, improved. In addition, pruritus, erosion, and crusting on the dorsum of the foot were also alleviated. Conclusions: This case suggests that Korean medicine treatment could be effective for recurrent pediatric HSP accompanied by contact dermatitis.
