Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema, is the most common chronic relapsing skin disease seen in infancy and childhood1 . It affects 10-30% of children worldwide and frequently occurs in families with other atopic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and food allergy. AD patients thereby have increased risk of bacterial, viral, and fungal infection related to impairment of innate immunity, including a loss of barrier function and impaired generation of antimicrobial peptides2 . In this case study, subject was 18 months old female toddler and had intermittent, pruritic rashes on her cheeks, mouth and extremities since past 9 months. Haridradi ghritam were used as local application every day for 30 days. The assessment criteria were subjectivepruritus and crusted area. The effect of local application of “Ghrit T” is to enhance skin barrier function. At the end of 30th day no pruritus or crusted area was seen at affected area.
