Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with complex clinical mechanisms. This article searched for randomized controlled trials published over the past two decades, and ultimately screened 16 high-quality articles. The results showed that TCM treatment could reduce the SCORAD score. We also analyzed the safety of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of AD. However, more rigorous and larger sample evidence is needed to further prove in the future.
