Objectives: The purpose of this study is to present three case reports on the treatments of psoriasis with exudation. Methods: We administered herbal medicine to three patients who showed psoriasis with exudation and evaluated the results by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index(PASI). Results: After the treatment three patients showed improvements in PASI. PASI of patient 1 changed from 18.0 to 0.9; patient 2 from 11.6 to 0.8; patient 3 from 12.0 to 0.4. Conclusions: The results suggest that herbal medicine can be an effective treatment for psoriasis with exudation.
