How to use Emolium cream for atopic dermatitis in children and adults

How to bathe a baby with atopic dermatitis?

According to the medical definition, “dermatitis” is an inflammation of the skin (dermis). Atopic – occurs in an unusual manner, arising due to an incorrect, too strong reaction of the body to various irritating factors and allergens. It is clear that the inflammatory process in the skin manifests itself very clearly: redness, peeling, swelling, rash. And if itching occurs, the baby begins to scratch the skin, damaging it even more. Weeping lesions form, alternating with areas of thickened, hot skin. Therefore, parents are often afraid to bathe a child with such manifestations.

Operating principle

The drug actively nourishes and restores the dermis in case of excessive drying and dehydration. After the first use, elimination of peeling and irritation is observed.

The protective functions of the skin improve, red spots disappear. A distinctive feature of Emolium is the smoothing of wrinkles. After using it, the skin becomes smooth and soft.

Triactive cream usually needs to be applied to the affected dermis a couple of hours after using hormonal ointments. All types of Emolium help moisturize and nourish the skin, increasing its protective functions.

What do doctors recommend: to bathe or not to bathe during an exacerbation?

If earlier, a few decades ago, it was not customary to bathe a child during an exacerbation of atopic dermatitis (the term “diathesis” was used more often), now doctors are unanimous: bathe, be sure to bathe! Water procedures are useful both during remission and during exacerbation. During remission, when bathing, all potential allergens, contaminants, and possible pathogenic bacteria are removed from the baby’s skin. The skin is moisturized, and then an emollient is applied to it - a cream that has a softening effect, containing oils, fats, and mixtures of physiological lipids. This is how we restore the protective function of the skin impaired by the disease and “repair” the epidermal barrier. Bathing during an exacerbation has the same functions as during remission: cleansing and moisturizing the skin. Moreover, if during an exacerbation the doctor prescribes a drug for external (topical) use - an ointment, then it penetrates better through clean and moist skin, and, therefore, the effect of its use will be faster and more active. In addition, after water procedures, the baby sleeps more peacefully and feels much better.

Basic rules for swimming

The Federal Recommendations of the Union of Pediatricians of Russia give the following advice to doctors: - it is better to bathe a child in a bathtub rather than in a shower; – the temperature of the water for swimming is no more than 32-35 C, that is, the water should be cool, not hot; – for bathing and washing hair, use acidified foaming detergents with a pH of 5.5, for example, atopic® head-to-toe bathing gel; – the baby’s time in the bath is no more than 10-15 minutes; – it is not recommended to use a washcloth; – after bathing, do not rub your skin with a towel, but pat it dry carefully. There is no need to add herbal extracts or infusions to the water. They tend to worsen dry skin and may contain bioactive ingredients that can cause flare-ups. It is important to note that you cannot use hard bar soap for bathing, because it has an alkaline reaction, which is contraindicated for atopic skin. Good bathing products are the so-called “soluble oils”, which are poured into a bath of water and form a white emulsion. After such a bath, the baby’s skin is saturated with oils, but you need to wipe it carefully: the skin becomes slippery. And a prerequisite for proper skin care for an atopic baby is to apply emollient cream immediately after the water procedure, no later than three minutes! The cream is applied from head to toe so that there is not a single area of ​​dry skin. The skin of a little atopic should not be dry for a minute!

And topical dermatitis is a disease that is often diagnosed in adults and children. The pathology causes constant discomfort, itching and unpleasant sensations. To treat the disease, it is necessary to use an integrated approach - this will allow achieving long-term remission in a short time.

Natural oils for atopic dermatitis often help alleviate the condition; it is better to select them with a doctor, excluding side effects and allergies.

Atopic dermatitis in a child: symptoms and treatment

Atopic dermatitis in infants easily worsens after a short recovery if you do not properly care for the delicate skin and treat it incorrectly for dryness and itching. Let's figure out what to apply to atopic skin and what products to avoid so as not to provoke an exacerbation. The therapist, allergist Tatyana Nikolaevna Dzyaduk tells the story.

— Tatyana Nikolaevna, how does atopic dermatitis in children differ from other types of dermatitis and allergies?

— Dermatitis is any inflammation of the skin. Atopic dermatitis is a specific diagnosis: it is a genetically determined chronic and itchy inflammation of the skin. Atopic dermatitis and allergies are two completely different diseases, in most cases unrelated. But if they are present in one child, then the allergy can aggravate the course of atopic dermatitis.

— Let's talk about atopic dermatitis in newborns and infants. Why does it still arise?

— The causes of the disease are related to the work of genes. And first of all, the filaggrin gene, thanks to which in a healthy person the skin is impermeable to water, bacteria and allergens. When this gene is mutated, the epithelial cells do not fit tightly together, the skin is loose, like a sieve. It quickly loses moisture, becomes very dry and sensitive, and various allergens and microorganisms easily penetrate through it.

Thin children's skin is especially sensitive. At the same time, the sebaceous glands in young children do not yet produce sebum in quantities sufficient to naturally moisturize the skin and create a protective film. Therefore, it is in children that the symptoms of atopic dermatitis are most pronounced.

— The disease can debut in the first month of life, most often at 2-4 weeks in severe cases. A child is born with healthy skin, since in the womb it is not affected by external factors, but subsequently water, dry air, clothing, and chemicals affect the skin, which becomes dry and irritated. And the stronger the filaggrin protein defect in the skin, the earlier atopic dermatitis appears.

— What does atopic dermatitis look like?

— The main problem is dryness. The baby's skin becomes covered with dry plaques and peels, and he is bothered by severe itching. With age, plaques will change location.

Sites of skin lesions in atopic dermatitis

In children under 2 years of age:
  • face
  • cheeks
  • knees
  • elbows
  • all skin in severe cases, with the exception of the diaper area, where it is damp
In older children:
  • elbow bends
  • popliteal fossa
In adults:
  • neck
  • hands
  • wrists
  • shins

— Is a diet always prescribed for atopic dermatitis?

— The presence of atopic dermatitis has nothing to do with the child’s nutrition. In case of atopic dermatitis, aggravated by an allergy to cow's milk proteins, feeding a child with products containing this protein can cause an exacerbation of dermatitis.

How often are atopic children associated with food allergies:

  • with a mild course - less than 5%;
  • with moderate severity - 10-20%;
  • for severe cases - approximately 30%.

The connection between atopic dermatitis and allergies accounts for less than a third of all cases. And if the child is not allergic to cow’s milk proteins, then atopic dermatitis will proceed in the same way on artificial and breastfeeding.

- The introduction of complementary foods can also provoke an exacerbation. And most often, histamine-releasing products are to blame for this: some vegetables and fruits in complementary foods contain histamine, which causes a skin reaction. In addition, children often smear food on themselves, which is why fruit acids begin to irritate the skin of their hands, face and cheeks. And if a child does have a food allergy, then introducing an allergen into complementary foods can cause dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis and food allergies

The most active food allergens up to a year Cow's milk protein and chicken egg: if they are present in complementary foods, and the child is allergic to them, then the dermatitis will worsen.
Allergies during breastfeeding If a breastfeeding mother eats foods to which the baby is allergic, the dermatitis will worsen.
Allergy during artificial feeding If you have an allergic reaction to cow's milk protein, regular infant formula is not suitable. The child is given a mixture of high hydrolysis, in which the protein is maximally broken down into amino acids, or an amino acid mixture, which contains only amino acids.
Diet for atopic dermatitis If the doctor has diagnosed a food allergy and identified its connection with dermatitis, then the allergenic product is completely excluded from the child’s diet or from the diet of the nursing mother. The timing and type of diet is determined by an allergist: usually this is at least 6 months, and in severe cases - up to 1.5 years before the trial administration.

— What is the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis?

— The doctor makes the diagnosis of “atopic dermatitis” after a visual examination of the child. There are no specific laboratory tests. Theoretically, you can undergo a genetic examination for the presence of a gene defect, but it will not be a criterion for making a diagnosis, because the diagnosis is the symptoms, that is, what is visible to the eye. You can test your child for concomitant food allergies, but this is not a diagnosis of dermatitis.

— How to treat atopic dermatitis in children? Is a doctor's supervision necessary in every case?

— Without a doctor’s recommendation, it is possible to use emollients, because they are medicinal cosmetics. Treatment of exacerbations occurs only under the supervision of a physician.

Atopic dermatitis in children: treatment of exacerbations and prevention

How to treat To remove inflammation, hormonal ointments and creams - calcineurin blockers - are applied to the affected areas of the skin. Hormonal ointments are safe, they are not absorbed into the skin and do not have a systemic effect, but only relieve inflammation at the site of application. Using the product under the supervision of a doctor will avoid complications and side effects, but you should not self-medicate.
How to prevent Since the main problem is dry skin and impaired skin barrier, a moisturizing ointment or cream is used. Emollients create the necessary film that is not on the skin, which prevents moisture loss and protects against the penetration of bacteria, fungi and allergens into the body. Prevention of exacerbations of atopic dermatitis is also prevention of the atopic march, that is, the addition of allergies in the future.

— It has been proven that with atopic dermatitis, allergies in childhood and adulthood often occur due to the penetration of allergens through the skin, causing a response from the immune system in the form of allergies. And we are not talking about food hypersensitivity, but about respiratory allergens - dust, mold, animal hair, pollen; about allergies that occur in school-age children and adults.

The atopic march is the process of transition from atopic dermatitis to allergic rhinitis, which then turns into asthma. To prevent this from happening, it is imperative to use moisturizers to create a protective film on the skin from allergens.

— What to do if an atopic baby does not eat and sleep well?

— Most often, appetite and sleep disappear against the background of severe itching. It is necessary to apply hormonal ointment to the affected skin in order to relieve the exacerbation as quickly as possible. You can also use various drugs with a sedative (calming) effect.

What not to do with atopic dermatitis

Herbal baths
  • Baths with string and chamomile dry out the skin. In this case, the protein of the plant product can penetrate through the damaged epidermis, which will cause sensitization. As a result, an allergy to these plants may later occur.
  • Children with atopic dermatitis should avoid natural ingredients in grooming and bathing cosmetics as much as possible.
Hot baths
  • Hot water dries out the skin.
  • The bathing water should be a little colder than for other children - about 35 degrees.
Swimming in hard water
  • Bathing can last a maximum of 10-15 minutes.
  • Special moisturizers from a series of medicinal cosmetics are used: shower gel or bath oil. They remove the drying properties of hard water.
Swaddling
  • Compressive diapers or tight clothing further irritate the baby's itchy skin, aggravating his condition.
Use of artificial fabrics, fabric softeners
  • Everything that comes into contact with the baby’s skin should be made from natural materials. Synthetics and hard fabrics should be avoided.
  • Wash linen and diapers with liquid laundry detergent and double rinse. Do not use conditioners or anything that cannot be rinsed out of the fabric.

— Can a child “outgrow” atopic dermatitis or does it need to be treated?

— Approximately 75-80% of children outgrow the disease by school age. But outgrowing does not mean rearranging the gene structure and getting rid of dry skin: the symptoms will simply go away. This is due to the fact that the sebaceous glands begin to work, the skin thickens, and the immune system itself copes with food allergies.

— That is, atopic dermatitis does not go away even with treatment.

- For some people, atopic dermatitis really remains for life. This is usually related to the number of defective genes and heredity. If both parents have atopic dermatitis, the child is likely to have severe dermatitis that will not go away in adulthood. In this situation, it is important to choose the right skin care: get into the habit of using emollients for the whole body and so often that the skin stops being dry. If the selected remedies can solve the problem of dryness, then there will be no symptoms, and the likelihood of exacerbations will decrease.

— Is it possible to prevent the development of atopic dermatitis?

— According to some data, exclusive breastfeeding for up to 4 months prevents the occurrence of food allergies. And we know that it can cause an exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. Therefore, to some extent, by reducing the risk of food allergies, we reduce the risk of increased atopic symptoms.

If the parents’ skin suffers from a lack of moisture and natural oil protection, then even a healthy child with a tendency to dry skin needs to choose the right care from birth - it is necessary to apply emollients in sufficient quantities so that the skin is well nourished and moisturized. And this will prevent the onset of symptoms of atopic dermatitis in a child.

Atopic dermatitis is a distinct skin disease determined by genes. It may be accompanied by food allergies, but in most cases there is no connection between these diseases. The main task of parents is to properly moisturize the child’s skin with emollients every day, thereby preventing the exacerbation of atopic dermatitis and the addition of various types of allergies.

Allergist Tatyana Nikolaevna Dzyaduk

*The ideal food for an infant is mother's milk. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. MAMAKO® supports this recommendation. Before introducing new foods into your baby’s diet, consult a specialist.

Why use oils for atopic dermatitis?

People diagnosed with atopic dermatitis know how important it is to properly care for their skin and regularly moisturize it. Natural oils are good at eliminating peeling and unpleasant itching. They relieve irritation and the skin receives a complex of beneficial substances.

Natural oils contain vitamins:

Despite the fact that natural oils nourish and moisturize the skin well, you should not use them yourself. They can cause allergic reactions, which will worsen the condition.

You must first consult your doctor.

No matter how attractive the drug may seem to you, consultation with a doctor is mandatory, because self-medication is harmful to your health.

Sea buckthorn oil

Doctors prescribe the use of sea buckthorn oil to quickly relieve the unpleasant symptoms of the disease. The components of the product can improve skin health. The oil contains fatty acids Omega 3, Omega 6, Omega 9, which accelerate the process of restoration of damaged areas.

Before starting to use, you should test the oil by applying a couple of drops to the crook of your elbow or wrist. If no redness is visible after 5 minutes, the oil can be used for therapeutic purposes.

It can be applied in its pure form to damaged areas of the skin and gently rubbed in; ointments can be prepared on its basis, but only on the recommendation of a doctor.

Classification

The choice of emollient preparations depends on the condition of the skin and the severity of its damage. There are products for children and adults. Emollients for bathing newborns can be classified into a separate group.

Cosmetics may contain harmful emollients, for example, coconut oil, lanolin, undiluted almond oil, isopropyl isostearate, isopropyl myristate and isostearic alcohol. It is better not to purchase such products.

List of useful oily substances:

  • paraffin;
  • ceresin;
  • petrolatum;
  • mineral, jojoba, castor oil;
  • sodium lauryl sulfate;
  • beeswax;
  • dimethicone;
  • lanolin.

Depending on the main active component, these products come in three types:

  • Natural. Manufactured using natural ingredients. These are oils, as well as extracts of plant and animal origin, for example, jojoba oil, lanolin. This group is the safest, so they are best used for children.
  • Chemical. These are components obtained from the refining of petroleum products. These include paraffin, petroleum jelly, sodium lauryl phosphate.
  • Synthetic. These are artificially created components (dimethicone). They are well absorbed, do not cause allergies, do not leave an oily sheen on the skin, so they are suitable for the face. The disadvantage of gels is that they heavily clog pores, so they are not suitable for problematic skin.

The essence of hormonal drugs

Zinc-ichthyol ointment for demodicosis

Treatment of viral or contact dermatitis is carried out not only with ointments, but also with antibiotics. For a clearer understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of individual ointments, you should consider them in detail. When can the use of hormonal drugs be prescribed:

  • in acute inflammatory processes on the skin, causing additional types of disease;
  • in case of relapse;
  • when the effectiveness of the use of non-hormonal drugs is zero;
  • with neurodermatitis;
  • if there is a risk of eczema;
  • with erythema;
  • for allergic rash.

When using external products, remember an important distinguishing feature: the appearance of cracks in the skin indicates the use of ointments, and if the skin is of a weeping type, a cream will help. Each hormonal drug can be classified as follows:

  • may have a strong or weak effect;
  • have an average or maximum effect.

Weak hormonal medications have a number of advantages:

  • they do not contribute to the occurrence of side effects;
  • the treatment proceeds smoothly.

Whatever the advantages of hormonal drugs, any doctor can tell you about their main problems, which we will discuss below.

The appearance of addiction to the drug. As a result, the causative agent of dermatitis will not “scare” the treatment and the expected effect will not occur. Doctors attribute this to the patient’s nervous pursuit of ideal and velvety skin. Patients forget about the importance of a break in treatment and use the products constantly. Sometimes, such recklessness leads to serious consequences. The appearance of side effects, which can be found in any instructions. Action, according to the rules, will not lead to negative consequences, therefore careful study is mandatory. The occurrence of withdrawal syndrome is associated with a sudden cessation of use of drugs

This is prohibited, since the dosage of the hormonal drug must be reduced carefully. Sometimes hormonal ointment can be replaced with baby cream for a day.

For others, they are extremely effective, but their use on the face, genitals, and anus is fraught. There are cases when the use of hormonal ointment is contraindicated and is not subject to discussion. Such cases include:

  • allergy to any component of the ointment;
  • presence of sexually transmitted diseases;
  • the presence of herpes, chickenpox, etc.;
  • tuberculosis disease;
  • fungal infection;
  • pregnancy period (partially).

The use of Advantan and Elokom as high-quality hormonal ointments is most favorable for the treatment of children, since side effects occur in isolated cases.

Advantan ointment rarely causes side effects

Linseed oil

Flaxseed oil is often prescribed as an additional medicine for children under one year of age. The oil can be used in its pure form, applied to the skin and rubbed into damaged areas. This will help eliminate dryness and itching. You can also prepare a medicinal composition for compresses. Required:

  • 100 g dried chamomile flowers;
  • 50 ml linseed oil.

The components must be mixed and placed in a water bath. Warm up for 60 minutes. Then remove from heat and strain. The composition should be moistened with bandages and applied as compresses to the affected areas of the skin overnight.

Overview of species

For skin allergies in children, different types of ointments are used:

  • hormonal;
  • non-hormonal.

The funds of the first group give results almost immediately. The high speed of action of such drugs is due to the presence of corticosteroids in the composition. This is the name of the steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex. They are neutral, that is, they are not characterized by estrogenic, endogenous, gestagenic activity. Corticosteroids are divided into two groups:

  • glucocorticosteroids;
  • mineralocorticoids.

Steroids of both types can be included in medications intended to eliminate the manifestations of skin diseases. They are prescribed for dermatitis; in some cases, similar drugs are indicated for children. It is advisable to do this if non-hormonal ointments do not give the desired result. However, such drugs have many contraindications and side effects.

For these reasons, they are used with caution, observing the reaction of the child’s body.

Hormonal allergy ointment is not suitable for newborns. It should be used with caution, as long-term treatment can cause skin atrophy

In addition, hormonal cream or ointment often leads to a deterioration in the patient’s general condition. This is due to long-term use of corticosteroid-based medications.

Non-hormonal drugs are characterized by a wider spectrum of action. They can be used more often and on different parts of the body. There are much fewer age restrictions on the use of non-hormonal ointment for allergies in children. They contain conditionally safe chemicals or herbal ingredients. There are even products that are suitable for treating allergies in newborns.

Sesame oil

The benefits of sesame oil for the entire body and skin have been proven by leading experts. It contains antioxidants, natural hormones and phytoestrogens. For external use, it is better to prepare a composition that includes:

  • 1 tbsp. l. sesame oil;
  • 1 tsp. grape juice;
  • 1 tsp. aloe juice

The composition must be thoroughly mixed and rubbed into the skin with gentle movements.

Before the first use, the composition must be tested for an allergic reaction by applying a couple of drops to the skin of the wrist.

Treatment Goals

Dermatitis refers to a number of diseases in which inflammation of the skin develops. These diseases are provoked by internal or external factors. The cause of the development of dermatitis can be allergies, infections, and negative environmental influences.

In any case, dermatitis in children must be treated using a set of measures. This includes medication, diet, and physical therapy. There are two types of medications used for dermatitis:

  • systemic action, taken orally;
  • local action, applied directly to the lesion.

Various drug options are used for local treatment. The main purposes of their use:

  • relief of inflammation;
  • relief of discomfort (itching, pain);
  • prevention of secondary infection;
  • moisturizing and softening the skin.

Black cumin oil

The use of natural black cumin oil, rich in beneficial components, helps to quickly relieve the symptoms of atopic dermatitis. Itching goes away and skin irritation decreases.

External application to the affected areas has a complex effect:

  • bactericidal;
  • antiviral;
  • antifungal.

Black cumin oil can be taken orally only after being prescribed by your doctor. He sets the dosage and duration of administration.

What are emollients

Emollients are medicinal and cosmetic products whose main task is to eliminate severe dry skin. They contain natural or synthetic components that:

  • soften the dermis;
  • moisturize, eliminate flaking, dryness (accordingly, itching goes away), prevent cracking;
  • normalize fat balance;
  • increase the resistance of the skin to negative external influences, allergens, pathogenic microorganisms;
  • suppress inflammatory processes.

The use of emollients for the care of inflamed skin is an integral part of the complex therapy of atopic dermatitis and can reduce the frequency of exacerbations of the pathology by 80%.

Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil has an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. It nourishes and moisturizes the skin with beneficial components. It is recommended to be used even in advanced cases of dermatitis.

A few drops can be applied to the skin and rubbed thoroughly. 10-20 drops are enough for one procedure, you need to repeat it a couple of times a day. You can also make lotions with tea tree oil, leaving for several hours.

To create a multicomponent ointment, you should mix oils with animal fat and tar. The use of such a composition will provide the desired effect in a short time.

Solcoseryl

Recently, solcoseryl has gained the greatest popularity among patients with atopic dermatitis, since despite the main property of increasing the activity of regenerative processes, the product allows you to get rid of dryness and tightness.

Solcoseryl is produced in the form of a non-hormonal ointment, ampoules for intravenous administration, dental paste, eye gels and external use. The main active ingredient of the drug is dialysate from the blood of young calves, which goes through several stages of purification, as a result of which proteins are completely removed from the dialysate. Solcoseryl contains cholesterol or petroleum jelly as auxiliary components.

The mechanism of action of the cream is still being carefully studied, since there is no exact data. It is known that calf blood serum with a molecular weight of more than 5 thousand dimers has the following properties:

Thanks to the above properties, Solcoseryl has powerful regenerating, antioxidant, anti-ischemic, membrane-stabilizing and healing effects. The gel is easily washed off from the skin surface after application, since it contains no impurities of fat and fatty acids. It is recommended for use in the later stages of wound therapy. If doctors prescribe the use of Solcoseryl ointment on open wounds, it is recommended to apply a sterile bandage over the injury.

The indication for use of the ointment is dry skin - the main symptom of atopic dermatitis.

The product should not be prescribed to children with a history of allergies to the active substance, or if there are complaints of flaking and itching after applying the ointment to the skin.

Solcoseryl ointment

At the first appearance of symptoms, it is necessary to apply the ointment to the cleansed skin surface up to 2 times a day. For convenience, it is allowed to apply a sterile bandage on top, especially if the wound is located under clothing. The course of treatment must be continued for about 2 weeks. The approximate cost is 364 rubles.

To moisturize dry skin in the long term (3-4 months after the first symptoms appear), it is recommended to use Solcoseryl in the form of a gel. Before applying it, the skin must be treated with a disinfectant solution, since the composition does not contain fats and it does not penetrate skin barriers well. If the gel is applied to a surface with purulent contents, the patient will require surgical debridement. The gel is applied to damaged areas 2 or 3 times a day. The price for a 20 gram tube will be 331 rubles.

Solcoseryl is not recommended for use during pregnancy; it is also worth limiting its use during breastfeeding. Do not use simultaneously with ginkgo biloba extract and fumarates.

It depends on who it is, because this is a childhood disease and it is not treated with ointments. If you know a pharmacy that still prepares prescriptions, there IS such a thing called a chatterbox. and if not, then ointments with zinc, but this is not a treatment, but a relief of symptoms.

Celederm or celestoderm is an ointment mixed with zinc ointment, but in general, hormonal drugs are already extreme, it is very difficult to give them up later. Start with treatment (detoxification) of the liver and enterosgel.

Leonardo! Elokom is a modern, effective and relatively safe hormonal drug for external use. It should be used only as indicated, no more than 7-10 days in a row and no more than 1 time per day. Any external treatment for atopic dermatitis is only a symptomatic treatment (eliminates the symptoms, but not the cause). The reason is in the intestines or other internal organs. It is possible to completely get rid of atopic dermatitis if it has not already become chronic (existing for many years). The sooner proper treatment begins from the onset of the disease, the greater the chances of a complete recovery.

Atopic dermatitis comes in two types: localized and diffuse. Diffuse is treated inpatiently, taking into account the condition of the body and concomitant diseases, the extent of skin damage. Sedative and desensitizing drugs are indicated. Pastes and lotions (lead water) are used externally. and then ointments with naphthalan (5-20%). You can use corticosteroid ointments (prednisolone, etc.) San-resort treatment, sea bathing, sunbathing, hydrogen sulfide, radon baths, mud therapy are indicated.

Enlightened (48025) ELOCOM IS A NEW GENERATION STEROID FOR DERMATOLOGICAL PRACTICE. Ksenia, if it’s difficult for you to call it modern, don’t call it, but it doesn’t change things. Elidel is a very good drug, an inhibitor of inflammatory mediators, synthesized earlier than Elokom. Both of these drugs are among the most modern today. Happy New Year!

In general, it would be better to go to a dermatologist, and based on your specific disease, he will prescribe an ointment, etc., etc.

I myself suffered for a long time, went to the diagnostic one, the dermatologist prescribed a wonderful ointment called Advantan, and first I also used it with Radevit in a mixture. But I agree - this is not really a treatment. although all my symptoms have gone away and very rarely now something appears

Advantan. It will help and cure!

Elok helped my son, but it does not cure, it only eliminates the external manifestation.

A couple of months ago I had this infection around my lips. I went to a dermatologist, I can say 100%, the dermatologist is great, after 2 days of treatment almost everything disappeared, after a couple of days it completely went away.

She prescribed me a hypoallergenic diet (or whatever it’s called, I can’t read the doctor’s handwriting).

Cetrin, 1 tablet per day, taken for 10 days, before meals.

And everything went quickly.

She also prescribed me Momat cream and Eneros gel, but I didn’t get around to them. Gels and creams generally do not eliminate the cause of the disease, but give a cosmetic effect, remove the external manifestation, which is why I did not use gels. Why, if I remove the cause of the allergy?

    Has anyone managed to get rid of papillomas in their armpits? They really bother me, especially when you sweat.

  2. Daria () 2 weeks ago

    I have already tried so many things and only after reading this article, I was able to get rid of papillomas in the armpits (and on a very budget). PS But I’m from the city myself and didn’t find it on sale here, so I ordered it online.

    Isn't this a scam? Why do they sell on the Internet?

  6. Yulek26 (Tver) 10 days ago

    Sonya, what country do you live in? They sell it on the Internet because stores and pharmacies charge outrageous markups. In addition, payment is only after receipt, that is, they first looked, checked and only then paid. And now everything is sold on the Internet - from clothes to TVs and furniture.

  7. Editor's response 10 days ago

    Sonya, hello. This drug for the treatment of papillomavirus infection is indeed not sold through pharmacy chains and retail stores in order to avoid inflated prices. As of today, you can only order on the official website. Be healthy!

  8. Sonya 10 days ago

    I apologize, I didn’t notice the information about cash on delivery at first. Then everything is fine if payment is made upon receipt.

    Has anyone tried traditional methods to get rid of warts and papillomas?

  10. Andrey A week ago

    I tried to burn off a wart on my head with vinegar. The wart really went away, only in its place there was such a burn that my finger hurt for another month. And the most annoying thing is that after a month and a half, two more warts popped up nearby ((

    I tried to burn out the papilloma with celandine, but it didn’t help, it just turned black and became so scary (((

    I recently watched a program on Channel One, they also talked about this PAPIFEX. Many doctors recommended for treatment. I ordered it, I use it, and indeed, the papillomas are dissolving one by one, there are only 2 left, the most tenacious ones.

  16. Tatyana (Ekaterinburg) Today

    Yeah, you burn one, after a month three more grow ((I don’t recommend liquid nitrogen, although hospitals often use it

    Tatyana, liquid nitrogen is a thing of the past, now PAPIFEX is used in full and there is no need to go to the doctors!

Hormonal ointments and creams

Most parents faced with the problem of atopic dermatitis in children try to keep hormonal treatment to a minimum. This happens due to unpredictable side effects and the body’s rapid adaptation to the drugs.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely stop using hormonal ointments. But with a competent and attentive attitude to the matter, glucocorticoids can be used with maximum benefit with minimal harm. All local hormonal agents used for dermatitis are divided into 4 groups:

  1. Very strong (Dermovate);
  2. Strong (Flixotide, Celestoderm);
  3. Medium (Afloderm, Lokoid);
  4. Weak (Hydrocortisone, Prednisolone).

For severe exacerbations, experts recommend using short courses of strong hormonal ointments and creams. The course lasts 3 days. If you are inclined to use weak drugs of this group, then you need to take into account that the therapeutic effect will be achieved only after 7 days.

During an exacerbation, it is not recommended to make mixtures with nourishing and moisturizing creams. It has been proven that such dilution does not reduce the risk of side effects. But the mixture worsens the effect of hormones and treatment may be delayed because of this. Remember also about special nutrition and sorbent drugs, such as Enterosgel.
