Comparison of the Efficacy of Topical Human Breast Milk versus Hydrocortisone 1% Lotion in the Clinical Improvement of Atopic Eczema in Infants: A Non-inferiority Trial
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Investigative Dermatology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease associated with pruritus and inflammation due to interactions between genetic susceptibility genes, resulting in a defective skin barrier and heightened immunologic responses to environmental allergens and microbial antigens. Approximately 15-20% of infants are affected by AD in developed countries and about 50% of them have atopic eczema in the first years of their lives [1]. Highly prevalent in early childhood, AD is exemplified by its chronic recurrence of erythema, excoriations, erosions and pruritus which makes it a global disease burden affecting most aspects of a person’s daily life [2]
