Nummular Eczema (also call “Discoid” Eczema or Nummular Dermatitis) is a common skin disorder characterized by round or coin-shaped itchy lesions. Commonly appearing on the lower legs, trunk, forearms or hands, nummular eczema can be the result of stress or may appear in people who are susceptible to allergies.

  When Will I Be Better?

A treatment course for nummular eczema varies depending on the severity and duration of the condition. Mild cases with a recent onset generally clear up within a month of treatment. More serious cases may take up to four months of treatment or longer to fully resolve.  We treat until the condition is stable. Once this happens, the body naturally remains in a healthy state on its own.

  Does Herbal Medicine Really Work?

Herbal medicine is one of the most effective methods to address underlying imbalances and completely heal nummular eczema.

What About Acupuncture?

Our holistic treatment for nummular eczema relies primarily on herbs and botanicals. Some patients also do a course of acupuncture treatment, but this is generally for underlying stress and overall health and well-being. We rarely recommend acupuncture to treat nummular eczema as herbal medicine is far more direct and powerful.
