Abstract
Thirty seven year old female breast feeding a five month old baby presented herself with a painful sting on her upper right arm. After two days of applying hydro cortisone cream 'Sinacot', the site of the sting was still extremely painful and inflamed with red papules. Diagnosis was a skin rash due to toxic heat. Treatment was acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Results concluded that after three treatment sessions the rash and pain disappeared.
