FAR EASTERN PHYTOMINERAL MEDICINAL PRODUCTS CORNEOTHERAPY IN REHABILITATION OF CHILDREN WITH ATOPIC DERMATITIS

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the efficiency of corneotherapy with Far Eastern phytomineral medicinal products in the rehabilitation of children with atopic dermatitis. 96 patients at the age of 10-16 years old with atopic dermatitis in remission were observed during the year. In the remission period 75 children (the basic group) had the baths with torphopeloid extract and emollient with bentonits and silicon water of the “Kuldur” mineral spring. In 21 patients (the comparison group) indifferent ointments were used. Corneometry, sebumetry, transepidermal water loss, microhemocirculation and microbiom of skin were investigated. As a result of the study it was found out that a series of actions had a favorable effect on the patients of the main group. Not a single case of atopic dermatitis severe exacerbation was registered during a year. The first relapses in a mitigate form were noted in 9-10 months in 33.8% of patients. The positive dynamics of the values under research preserved. In the comparison group recurrences were noted in 80.9% patients in 4-5 months and 4 patients were hospitalized. The studied values didn’t change or had a negative tendency. Thus, corneotherapy with Far Eastern phytomineral medicinal products is effective in rehabilitation of patients with atopic dermatitis and hampers inflammatory remodeling of the skin.
