Abstract

Published data on the pathogenesis and main methods of therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD) are analyzed. Defects in the barrier function of the skin are regarded as one of the major phenotypical signs of AD. Therapy of AD is a difficult problem; however, the use of hydratants and oily means remains the base topical therapy to repair the barrier function of the skin. A new lipid-replenishing cream for topical therapy of AD, Xeracalm, is presented. The cream was used in 15 patients aged 15-32 years with mild AD. The efficiency was evaluated by objective criteria (erythema, desquamation, dryness) and subjective sensations (skin “shrinkage”), SCORAD index, and dermatological quality of life index. The studies demonstrated high efficiency of Xeracalm cream, which could be recommended for therapy of AD and maintenance of clinical remission.
