In AGA, topical applicants (50.2%) were most often used, followed by dietary therapy and health supplements. In AD, bath therapy (39.4%) was most often used, followed by oriental medicine and topical applicants. In psoriasis, oriental medicine (33.9%) was most frequently used, followed by bath therapy and health supplements. The proportion of patients who believed that CAM helped to improve their skin condition was relatively low (AGA, 16.1%; AD, 31.7%; psoriasis, 15.0%).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Limitations\u2002<\/jats:bold> The results may not be applicable to other countries and generalized to general populations.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> These results indicate that CAM is widely used in Korean patients with chronic dermatological diseases despite their dissatisfactions.
