EXTERNAL THERAPY OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (Ad) is a multifactorial skin disease. As shown by recent studies, a significant role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is a disturbance of the structural elements of the skin barrier, which contributes to skin xerosis, increase of its permeability to allergens and development of chronic inflammation. As a result, an allergic inflammation develops in the skin. Accordingly, in the treatment of atopic dermatitis great attention should be paid to effective external therapy. In the period of exacerbation of the skin process effective and safe external preparations are drugs of activated zinc pyrithione (APTS) - a line of Skin-Cap products. Use of APTS in atopic dermatitis in children leads to a significant reduction in the severity of inflammation, reduction of the area of skin lesions and severity of symptoms, reducing the need for additional administration of antihistamine and anti-inflammatory drugs, allowing you to reach persistent clinical remission.
