Regular Use of an Emollient Containing Glycerol and Paraffin Reduces Flares in Children With Atopic Dermatitis

TAKE-HOME MESSAGE

• Children from ages 2 to 6 with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD; N = 335) were randomized to receive emollients (15% glycerol, 10% soft paraffin) twice daily vs no emollient. The children treated with emollients had a longer time to first flare, fewer flares, higher complete remission rates, less corticosteroid consumption, and lower IGA and SCORAD scores than those who were not. At 12 weeks, significantly fewer children treated with emollients required corticosteroids or immunosuppressants (23.6%) than patients not treated with emollients (43.3%). 

• Although emollients are part of standard treatment for AD, there has been limited evidence that they prevent flares. This study suggests that regular emollient use in children with mild to moderate AD can reduce flares and use of corticosteroids.
