INTRODUCTION

Hyperkeratoses — thickening of the stratum corneum of the epidermis due to excessive keratin content. Hyperkeratosis is not an independent disease. The basis of diseases accompanied by hyperkeratosis is a violation of keratinization and desquamation of the surface layers of the epidermis of the skin. In clinical practice, acquired and hereditary hyperkeratoses are distinguished. Hyperkeratosis is clinically expressed in keratinization and compaction of the skin, which gives patients physical discomfort, significantly reduces working capacity, as well as the quality of life of patients due to the atypical exterior of hyperkeratotic foci of affected skin. The treatment of hyperkeratosis depends on the cause of dermatosis and its clinical form. External therapy of hyperkeratoses is a fundamental method of treatment and should be aimed at moisturizing and softening the skin and improving the exfoliation of hyperkeratotic layers.

THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of Emollient Cream for rough skin monotherapy in children with mild forms of chronic dermatosis, accompanied by hyperkeratosis. Under observation were 62 children aged 6 to 17 years with mild forms of chronic dermatosis, accompanied by hyperkeratosis. Conducted Emollient Cream for rough skin monotherapy once in the evening for 28 days. An assessment of the dynamics of the condition of the skin with the external treatment of dermatoses in children using clinical examination, questionnaires and corneometry is presented. High efficacy and safety of Emollient Cream for rough skin monotherapy with mild forms of chronic dermatoses accompanied by hyperkeratosis have been shown.
