Abstract
#Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic #inflammatory skin disease, which
occurs most often in children compared with the adult AD population [5].
Wool is commonly considered an allergen and trigger for exacerbation of
AD. However, Super Fine Merino Wool (SMW) has not been extensively
studied and may show some effect in improving AD symptoms such as itch,
#erythema and induration. To explore this hypothesis, we performed an
investigator blinded, repeated measures, self-controlled experimental
design study with Super Fine Merino Base Layer Garments (SMWBG). SMWBG
were worn by 29 patients with AD between the ages of 6 to 25 years over a
15 week period. We examined the #tolerability and potential therapeutic
effect of SMWBG (garments worn directly against the skin) in children
and young adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). Response was assessed
using validated scoring scales: Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis
(SCORAD1), Eczema Area Severty Index (EASI2), #Patient-Orientated Eczema Measures (POEM3) and a non-validated Dermatitis Severity Assessment
(DSA4).
