Abstract

BACKGROUND Patients suffering from eczematous dermatitis always required moisturizing cream as a background therapy with the aim to reduce flares and minimize steroids use. The term emollients plus (EP) refers to a topical formulations with vehicle-type substances and additional active, non-medicated substances. We have conducted a study with a topical emollient containing urea 10% and amino-inositole on 20 patients affected from chronic eczematous dermatitis. Primary outcomes were to evaluate effectiveness, in term of Investigator Global Assessment (IGA), and tolerability of EP. Secondary aims included the comparison of NRS (numerical rating scale) itch and NRS-pain, DLQI (Dermatological Life Quality Index) between day one and day 28 and to evaluate the characteristics of EP. METHODS Subjects were instructed to apply the EP twice daily for 4 weeks on affected skin and use a soft soap while not to put any other topical or systemic product. Statistical analysis was conducted through the test t-Student by comparing IGA, itch-NRS, pain-NRS and DLQI at time 0 and day 28. RESULTS High statistically significant difference (P=0.0038) between IGA value at T0 and T4 has been demonstrated as for itch and pain (respectively P=0.0203 and P=0.0146). Almost all the patients (89.5%) have declared a good or better tolerability of EP. Two patients did not complete the study. CONCLUSIONS Patients with chronic eczema could often resolve the dermatitis with the correct choice of emollient without steroids use, especially if it is an EP.
