Atopic dermatitis is the most common skin disease in childhood. Chronic
staged course of dermatitis, excruciating itching accompanying the disease, sleep
disturbance cause suffering to the child and parents and have an adverse effect on
the emotional, mental and physical development of children.
The established influence of hereditary predisposition to the development
of allergic dermatoses creates a real danger of a significant increase in the number
of patients.
The mechanisms of the formation of dermatoses still remain insufficiently
clear.
Practitioners experience great difficulties in treating such patients.
Conducted traditional therapy often gives only temporary improvement, and the
impact of numerous adverse factors, from which it is sometimes impossible to
protect a child, leads to an exacerbation of the skin process and the formation of a
chronic disease.
