Description

An application test of “Locobase® REPAIR” was performed in 40 patients with dry skin found in atopic dermatitis and xeroderma. This preparation is a moisturizing cream containing ceramide 3, cholesterol and free fatty acids. At the end of a 4-week's application test, markedly beneficial effects were observed in the evaluation of its usefulness including improvements in skin condition and safety, with 85.0% of the patients showing a moderate improvements or better responses. Adverse events including pruritus or increased pruritus were noted in three patients. One patient was successfully treated through the application of an external medicine that was being used on a different region, and the other by the concomitant administration of oral antihistamines. The third patient's symptoms disappeared without any treatment after the application test period ended. These results suggest that Locobase® REPAIR is a beneficial moisturizing cream in the treatment of dry skin found in atopic dermatitis and xeroderma, and can be used safely.
