Comparative analysis of the use of complementary and alternative medicine by Korean patients with androgenetic alopecia, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis

Abstract: These results indicate that CAM is widely used in Korean patients with chronic dermatological diseases despite their dissatisfactions. Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of CAM must be considered before its clinical practice.

“…The cross-sectional nature of the measurements of blood metals and personal behaviors (for example, sleep patterns [67], [68], [70], [94] and oily scalp [62], [95], [96], [97], [98], [99], [100]) limit our ability to identify causal relationships; the time of onset of moderate to severe hair loss will need more investigation in future work.…”

“…In dermatology CAM users have been characterized as mainly female and over 50 years of age [9, 10]. However, most studies focus on which CAM options are being used and their efficacy, whereas little knowledge exists on what characterizes CAM users among AD patients [11, 12]. The aim of the present study was to examine the use of CAM in children and adult patients with AD and to characterize CAM users as compared to non-CAM users.…”
