Abstract

Dermatitis can provoke depressive symptoms, causing an increased level of anxiety, especially in adolescents, and overall disrupt psychological comfort and balance. Psychogenic factors can exacerbate the disease and consequently reduce the quality of life. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the impact of the quality of life and symptoms of atopic dermatitis. The study aims to check the effect of the combined skincare regimen of two formulations that have been developed using delicate preservation and lipid regeneration layer system to reduce homeostasis disorders in the form of irritation and/or inflammation on the patients' quality of life with the symptoms of atopic dermatitis. The study results approve the positive effect of the natural regimen for skincare for the patients with atopic dermatitis in connection with the decrease of the burden implied by the disease in both aspects of the visual and sensory effects that negatively impact the quality of life of the patients. This approves the idea that natural skincare regimen reduces the symptoms of atopic dermatitis, positively impacting the psychosocial condition of the patients.
