Description
Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients in children are recently increasing in many reports. Recently AD has two aspects, allergic aspect and non-allergic one. In the latter, the disrupted barrier function of stratum corneum was pointed out. This dysfunction is induced from a deceased amount of ceramide, a major constituent of the intracellular lipids within the stratum corneum layers. Topical application of ceramide has been reported to recover the disrupted function of the stratum corneum in the patients with AD. In this study, we investigated the clinical evaluation of efficacy of Locobase® REPAIR, hypo irritant skin care cream containing ceramide, cholesterol, and free fatty acid, applied to the skin of patients with AD and asteatotic eczema. Clinical observations of skin appearance for 4 weeks revealed that the application of Locobase® REPAIR had improved the skin symptoms, including scale, dryness, itchy, and erythema, in 90.8%, 90.4%, 82.5%, and 82.1% of the patients respectively. The adverse effects were found in 6.1% of the patients. All cases were trifling matters, and they recovered rapidly after suspension. Its usefulness was found in 86.0% of the patients.<BR>These results indicate the application of Locobase® REPAIR to AD and asteatotic eczema patients as a beneficial moisturizing cream is very effective and safe.
