Dyshydroza
Leczenie

Dyshydroza (pompholyx) to przewlekła dermatoza charakteryzująca się nawracającymi pęcherzykowymi wykwitami na dłoniach, palcach i stopach, często z towarzyszącym świądem i bólem. Podstawą terapii są miejscowe glikokortykosteroidy o dużej i bardzo dużej sile działania (np. klobetazol, fluocinonid, halobetazol, triamcynolon), stosowane z okluzją dla zwiększenia penetracji, jednak ograniczone czasowo ze względu na ryzyko atrofii skóry. Alternatywą są inhibitory kalcyneuryny (takrolimus, pimekrolimus), które nie wywołują tachyfilaksji ani teleangiektazji, ale mogą nasilać podrażnienia. W terapii miejscowej stosuje się także inhibitory PDE4 (krisaborol), inhibitory JAK, preparaty przeciwświądowe (pramoksyna), środki wysuszające (mleczan amonu 12%, krem Carmol 20%) oraz emolienty na bazie wazeliny. W ostrych, sączących zmianach pomocne są okłady z roztworu nadmanganianu potasu (1:8000–1:10000) lub siarczanu glinu (Domeboro, Burow).

Dyshydroza – wprowadzenie

Dyshydroza (pompholyx, wyprysk dyshydrotyczny) to przewlekła choroba skóry, charakteryzująca się nawracającymi wykwitami pęcherzykowymi, najczęściej zlokalizowanymi na dłoniach, palcach rąk i stopach. Zmiany te często są bardzo swędzące i bolesne, co znacząco wpływa na jakość życia pacjentów. Choroba ma zazwyczaj charakter przewlekły, z okresami zaostrzeń i remisji.12

W leczeniu dyshydrozy stosuje się szereg metod terapeutycznych, od leków miejscowych po terapie ogólnoustrojowe. Wybór odpowiedniej strategii leczenia zależy od nasilenia objawów, historii poprzednich terapii oraz indywidualnych cech pacjenta. Warto podkreślić, że choć dyshydroza jest chorobą nieuleczalną, to dostępne terapie potrafią skutecznie kontrolować jej objawy i ograniczać częstotliwość zaostrzeń.34

Terapie miejscowe w leczeniu dyshydrozy

Miejscowe glikokortykosteroidy

Miejscowe glikokortykosteroidy stanowią podstawę leczenia dyshydrozy. Są one lekami pierwszego wyboru ze względu na ich działanie przeciwzapalne, przeciwświądowe i przeciwobrzękowe.56

W przypadku zmian na dłoniach i stopach zaleca się stosowanie preparatów o dużej i bardzo dużej sile działania, takich jak klobetazol, fluocinonid (Lidex), halobetazol (Bryhali) czy triamcynolon (Kenalog). Maści wykazują lepszą penetrację skóry niż kremy, choć pacjenci mogą preferować kremy ze względów praktycznych, szczególnie w ciągu dnia.78

Skuteczność miejscowych glikokortykosteroidów można zwiększyć poprzez okluzję – nakładanie leku pod opatrunkiem okluzyjnym lub stosowanie rękawiczek bawełnianych po aplikacji preparatu. Leczenie powinno być prowadzone przez ograniczony czas ze względu na ryzyko działań niepożądanych, takich jak ścieńczenie skóry, teleangiektazje czy inne objawy atrofii skóry.910

Inhibitory kalcyneuryny

Miejscowe inhibitory kalcyneuryny, takie jak takrolimus (Protopic) i pimekrolimus (Elidel), stanowią wartościową alternatywę dla glikokortykosteroidów, szczególnie w leczeniu długoterminowym. Te niesteroidowe preparaty immunomodulujące hamują aktywację limfocytów T i uwalnianie cytokin prozapalnych.1112

Główną zaletą inhibitorów kalcyneuryny w porównaniu z miejscowymi glikokortykosteroidami jest brak tachyfilaksji (zmniejszenia skuteczności przy długotrwałym stosowaniu) oraz brak ryzyka rozwoju teleangiektazji, ścieńczenia i atrofii skóry. Należy jednak pamiętać, że mogą one nasilać podrażnienie skóry, szczególnie w przypadku wyprysku kontaktowego z podrażnienia.1314

Wykazano skuteczność długoterminowego leczenia okluzyjnego z zastosowaniem pimekrolimusu u pacjentów z ciężkim dyshydrotycznym wypryskiem rąk i stóp.15

Inne terapie miejscowe

Poza standardowymi preparatami przeciwzapalnymi, w leczeniu miejscowym dyshydrozy stosuje się również:16

  • Inhibitory PDE4, takie jak krisaborol (Eucrisa)
  • Inhibitory JAK do stosowania miejscowego
  • Preparaty przeciwświądowe zawierające pramoksynę
  • Preparaty wysuszające w fazie pęcherzykowej, np. mleczan amonu 12% lub krem Carmol 20%
  • Emolienty, preferowane są preparaty na bazie wazeliny

1718

W ostrych, sączących zmianach pomocne mogą być okłady z roztworu nadmanganianu potasu (w rozcieńczeniu 1:8000 lub 1:10000) lub siarczanu glinu (preparaty handlowe: Domeboro, Burow). Działają one ściągająco, antyseptycznie i przyśpieszają wysychanie pęcherzyków.192021

Terapie ogólnoustrojowe w leczeniu dyshydrozy

Doustne glikokortykosteroidy

W przypadku ciężkich zaostrzeń dyshydrozy, gdy leczenie miejscowe nie przynosi oczekiwanych efektów, można zastosować krótkotrwałą terapię doustnymi glikokortykosteroidami, takimi jak prednizon (Deltasone). Tego typu leczenie powinno być krótkotrwałe i traktowane jako pomost do innych metod terapeutycznych ze względu na ryzyko działań niepożądanych przy długotrwałym stosowaniu.2223

W przypadku pełnoobjawowej postaci choroby (pompholyx) można rozpocząć leczenie od dawki 1 mg/kg/dobę przez 1 tydzień, a następnie zmniejszać dawkę o połowę każdego tygodnia przez 3-4 tygodnie. Alternatywnie można zastosować domięśniowy triamcynolon (zawiesina), po którym następuje zmniejszanie dawki prednizonu. Pacjenci powinni być monitorowani, a ich ciśnienie krwi kontrolowane 1 tydzień po rozpoczęciu terapii prednizonem.2425

Leki immunosupresyjne

W przypadku ciężkiej, opornej na leczenie dyshydrozy stosuje się ogólnoustrojowe leki immunosupresyjne, takie jak:2627

  • Metotreksat (Rheumatrex)
  • Mykofenolan mofetylu (CellCept)
  • Cyklosporyna
  • Azatiopryna
  • Etanercept

28

Te leki działają poprzez hamowanie odpowiedzi immunologicznej organizmu i zmniejszanie stanu zapalnego. Ich zastosowanie jest jednak ograniczone ze względu na potencjalne działania niepożądane, dlatego są one zarezerwowane dla najcięższych przypadków.29

Leki biologiczne

Nowością w leczeniu opornej na standardowe terapie dyshydrozy są leki biologiczne, w szczególności dupilumab (Dupixent). Jest to przeciwciało monoklonalne skierowane przeciwko receptorowi interleukiny-4 (IL-4), które hamuje szlak sygnałowy IL-4/IL-13 odgrywający kluczową rolę w zapaleniu typu 2.3031

Badania kliniczne i opisy przypadków pokazują wysoką skuteczność dupilumabu w leczeniu opornej dyshydrozy. U pacjentów obserwowano szybką i znaczącą poprawę, często już w ciągu pierwszego tygodnia od rozpoczęcia leczenia, z długotrwałym utrzymywaniem się efektu terapeutycznego.3233

Inhibitory Janus kinazy (JAK)

Obiecującą grupą leków w leczeniu opornej dyshydrozy są inhibitory JAK, takie jak upadacytynib (Rinvoq) i baricytynib (Olumiant). Leki te hamują aktywność enzymów JAK, które odgrywają kluczową rolę w dysregulacji immunologicznej i dysfunkcji bariery skórnej charakterystycznej dla wyprysku.3435

Upadacytynib, doustny inhibitor JAK, został niedawno zatwierdzony do leczenia umiarkowanego do ciężkiego atopowego zapalenia skóry. Skuteczność upadacytynibu w przypadkach dyshydrozy sugeruje, że sygnalizacja JAK może również odgrywać centralną rolę w patogenezie tego schorzenia, nawet przy braku współistniejącego AZS.3637

Retinoidy

Alitretynoina (kwas 9-cis-retinowy), znana komercyjnie jako Toctino, jest retinoidem doustnym stosowanym w leczeniu ciężkiego, przewlekłego wyprysku rąk (w tym dyshydrozy), który nie reaguje na leczenie silnymi miejscowymi glikokortykosteroidami.3839

Alitretynoina aktywuje receptor X retinoidów i wszystkie receptory retinowe, co prowadzi do normalizacji procesów różnicowania i proliferacji komórek oraz zmniejszenia stanu zapalnego.40

Inne retinoidy, takie jak acytretyna i izotretynoina, również mogą być stosowane w leczeniu dyshydrozy.41

Fototerapia w leczeniu dyshydrozy

Rodzaje fototerapii

Fototerapia (światłolecznictwo) jest skuteczną metodą leczenia umiarkowanej do ciężkiej dyshydrozy, która nie reaguje na leczenie miejscowe. Stosowane są różne rodzaje fototerapii:4243

  • UVB – terapia wąskopasmowym promieniowaniem UVB
  • PUVA – fotochemioterapia z zastosowaniem psoralenów i promieniowania UVA
  • UVA-1 – terapia z wykorzystaniem wysokich dawek promieniowania UVA-1

44

Fototerapia może być stosowana miejscowo (na dłonie i stopy) lub ogólnoustrojowo. Leczenie miejscowe PUVA z 8-metoksypsoralenem jest prawdopodobnie tak samo skuteczne jak ogólnoustrojowa fotochemioterapia lub naświetlanie wysokimi dawkami UVA-1.45

Mechanizm działania i skuteczność

Fototerapia działa poprzez zmniejszenie liczby specjalistycznych komórek, limfocytów T, w skórze, co prowadzi do zmniejszenia stanu zapalnego. Dodatkowo promieniowanie UV może wzmacniać barierę skórną i zwiększać odporność skóry na czynniki zewnętrzne.4647

Badania wykazały, że fototerapia nie jest trwałym lekiem na dyshydrozę, ale może skutecznie łagodzić stan zapalny i świąd, co pozwala skórze na regenerację. Wszystkie trzy metody (UVB, PUVA, UVA-1) były stosowane z dobrymi wynikami, przy czym UVA-1 może być preferowana ze względu na korzystniejszy profil działań niepożądanych w porównaniu z PUVA.4849

Inne metody terapeutyczne w leczeniu dyshydrozy

Toksyna botulinowa

Iniekcje toksyny botulinowej typu A (Botox) stanowią nowatorskie podejście do leczenia dyshydrozy, szczególnie w przypadkach związanych z nadmiernym poceniem (hiperhidroza), które może być czynnikiem wyzwalającym lub zaostrzającym chorobę.5051

Toksyna botulinowa działa poprzez blokowanie uwalniania acetylocholiny, co prowadzi do zmniejszenia aktywności gruczołów potowych. W badaniu, w którym sześciu pacjentów ukończyło 8-tygodniowy okres próbny, osiągnięto znaczne zmniejszenie wskaźnika DASI (Dyshidrotic Eczema Area and Severity Index) oraz szybsze złagodzenie świądu i redukcję wykwitów pęcherzykowych.5253

Jonoforeza

Jonoforeza z wodą wodociągową z pulsującym prądem stałym może być pomocna jako leczenie wspomagające w dyshydrozie. Metoda ta jest najczęściej stosowana w leczeniu nadmiernej potliwości, ale ma również długą i udaną historię stosowania w leczeniu wyprysku.5455

W badaniu z zastosowaniem jednostronnej jonoforezy z wodą wodociągową, 17 z 20 pacjentów wykazało poprawę objawów dyshydrotycznego wyprysku, ale tylko po stronie leczonej, w porównaniu z całkowitym brakiem poprawy po stronie nieleczonej.56

Gdy jonoforeza jest stosowana w połączeniu z miejscowymi glikokortykosteroidami, czas do uzyskania remisji jest podobny jak w przypadku stosowania samych silnych miejscowych glikokortykosteroidów, ale z dodatkową korzyścią w postaci znacznie wydłużonego czasu remisji (średnio 24,8 tygodnia w porównaniu z 8,35 tygodnia).57

Leczenie zakażeń towarzyszących

Dyshydrozie często towarzyszą zakażenia bakteryjne i grzybicze, które mogą zaostrzać objawy i utrudniać leczenie. W przypadku podejrzenia zakażenia należy zastosować odpowiednie leczenie przeciwbakteryjne lub przeciwgrzybicze.5859

W przypadku zakażenia bakteryjnego skóry (najczęściej Staphylococcus aureus i paciorkowce grupy A) należy zastosować antybiotykoterapię miejscową lub ogólnoustrojową. W przypadku towarzyszącego zakażenia grzybiczego (np. grzybica stóp) wskazane jest leczenie przeciwgrzybicze.6061

Postępowanie wspomagające i modyfikacje stylu życia

Właściwa pielęgnacja skóry

Odpowiednia pielęgnacja skóry jest fundamentalna w leczeniu dyshydrozy. Zalecenia obejmują:6263

  • Stosowanie łagodnych, bezzapachowych środków myjących i letniej (nie gorącej) wody do mycia rąk
  • Dokładne osuszanie skóry po każdym myciu
  • Regularne stosowanie emolientów, najlepiej kremów lub maści bez zawartości wody (nie lotionów)
  • Aplikacja emolientów po każdym myciu rąk i zawsze gdy skóra wydaje się sucha
  • Stosowanie preparatów barierowych zawierających dimetikon, które tworzą warstwę ochronną na skórze

64

W przypadku sączących się zmian pomocne mogą być okłady z roztworu nadmanganianu potasu lub siarczanu glinu, które działają ściągająco i wysuszająco.6566

Unikanie czynników wyzwalających

Identyfikacja i unikanie czynników wyzwalających dyshydrozę ma kluczowe znaczenie w zapobieganiu nawrotom choroby. Do najczęstszych czynników wyzwalających należą:6768

  • Stres – stosowanie technik redukcji stresu, terapii poznawczo-behawioralnej czy biofeedbacku może pomóc w kontroli objawów
  • Alergeny kontaktowe – szczególnie nikiel i kobalt, często obecne w biżuterii, ale także w wielu produktach spożywczych
  • Długotrwały kontakt z wodą, detergentami i środkami czyszczącymi
  • Nadmierna potliwość rąk i stóp
  • Ekstremalne warunki pogodowe, zarówno gorąco jak i zimno

69

W przypadku potwierdzonej alergii na nikiel lub kobalt, zalecana jest nie tylko eliminacja kontaktu z tymi metalami, ale również modyfikacja diety w celu ograniczenia spożycia produktów bogatych w te pierwiastki.7071

Stosowanie rękawiczek ochronnych

Właściwe stosowanie rękawiczek ochronnych może znacząco zmniejszyć narażenie skóry na czynniki drażniące i alergizujące:7273

  • Do prac suchych: 100% bawełniane rękawiczki
  • Do prac mokrych: 100% bawełniane rękawiczki pod wodoodpornymi rękawiczkami
  • Zdejmowanie pierścionków przed myciem rąk, aby zapobiec zatrzymywaniu wilgoci pod biżuterią

74

Należy pamiętać, że u niektórych pacjentów rękawiczki mogą nasilać objawy ze względu na uczulenie na materiały, z których są wykonane. W takich przypadkach zaleca się rękawiczki bawełniane, aby zapobiec podrażnieniom.75

Indywidualizacja terapii i leczenie skojarzone

Ze względu na złożoną naturę dyshydrozy i różnorodność czynników wyzwalających, leczenie powinno być indywidualnie dostosowane do każdego pacjenta. W wielu przypadkach najskuteczniejsze jest leczenie skojarzone, łączące różne metody terapeutyczne.7677

Typowy schemat leczenia może obejmować:78

  • Miejscowe glikokortykosteroidy w fazie ostrej
  • Emolienty stosowane regularnie, niezależnie od fazy choroby
  • Identyfikację i eliminację czynników wyzwalających
  • Leczenie towarzyszących zakażeń
  • W przypadkach opornych – leczenie ogólnoustrojowe lub fototerapię

79

Pacjenci powinni być edukowani o nawrotowym charakterze choroby i zachęcani do śledzenia potencjalnych czynników wyzwalających, aby można je było unikać. Większość pacjentów można prowadzić przy pomocy leczenia miejscowego, stosując dwuetapowe podejście: silne miejscowe steroidy w fazie ostrej i emolienty przez cały czas.80

Podsumowanie skuteczności poszczególnych metod leczenia

Skuteczność leczenia dyshydrozy zależy od wielu czynników, w tym nasilenia objawów, współistniejących chorób oraz indywidualnej odpowiedzi pacjenta na terapię. Najczęściej stosowane metody leczenia obejmują:8182

  • Miejscowe glikokortykosteroidy – skuteczne w łagodzeniu stanu zapalnego i świądu, zalecane jako leczenie pierwszego rzutu
  • Inhibitory kalcyneuryny – dobre alternatywa dla steroidów w leczeniu długoterminowym
  • Doustne glikokortykosteroidy – efektywne w ciężkich zaostrzeniach, ale z ograniczeniem czasu stosowania
  • Fototerapia – skuteczna w przypadkach opornych na leczenie miejscowe
  • Leki immunosupresyjne – rezerwowane dla najcięższych przypadków
  • Leki biologiczne – wykazujące obiecujące wyniki w leczeniu opornej dyshydrozy
  • Toksyna botulinowa – skuteczna w przypadkach związanych z nadmierną potliwością

8384

Warto podkreślić, że dyshydroza jest chorobą przewlekłą, a jej leczenie wymaga cierpliwości i systematyczności. Większość pacjentów może osiągnąć dobrą kontrolę objawów przy odpowiednio dobranej terapii skojarzonej i modyfikacji stylu życia.8586

    https://eczema.org/information-and-advice/types-of-eczema/pompholyx-eczema-2/
    Pompholyx eczema (also known as dyshidrotic eczema) is a type of eczema that affects the hands and feet. It involves the development of intensely itchy, watery blisters, affecting the sides of the fingers, the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. […] Any obvious trigger for the pompholyx flare should be avoided as far as possible, especially in the case of a contact allergy. […] Emollients (medical moisturisers) are a first-line treatment and should be used for moisturising and washing. […] Pompholyx eczema needs to be treated with topical steroids to reduce inflammation and heal cracks. […] For severe pompholyx eczema, a dermatology referral may be required for treatment and/or diagnosing contact allergy through patch testing. […] Alitretinoin (known as Toctino) is an oral treatment licensed for use in adults with severe chronic hand eczema (including pompholyx) that has not responded to treatment with potent topical steroids. […] Phototherapy (UVB or PUVA), using either UVB or UVA rays administered by a special foot/hand light box, may be recommended if this treatment option is available locally to you. […] Occasionally, for very severe outbreaks of pompholyx eczema, a short course of oral steroid tablets is prescribed.

    https://www.health.com/dyshidrotic-eczema-8553239
    Although dyshidrotic eczema is not curable, several treatment options are available to prevent severe flare-ups or shorten the length of your symptoms. […] There is no cure for dyshidrotic eczema, but there are ways to manage symptoms and prevent the development of blisters. Following a recommended skin care regimen may be effective for people with mild cases, while medications might be necessary to treat severe flare-ups. […] Dermatologists may often recommend topical or oral medications to treat serious cases of dyshidrotic eczema. A few common medications that can improve symptoms include corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, light therapy, anti-itch medication, botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, and oral antibiotics. […] In the case that your blister becomes large, dermatologists may use a sterile needle to drain them and help prevent infections.

    Dyshidrotic eczema is the fifth-most common cause of hand eczema, according to a 2015 study. […] We do not have a cure, but we have many good treatments and many more in development, says Lio. Usually we can help people get their skin much better so that they can be comfortable and return to normal activities. […] While there is no cure for dyshidrotic eczema, as Lio says, you can manage most of the symptoms on your own with a doctors direction. […] Typically, we start with gentle skin care and avoiding triggers, he says. I have some favorite gentle cleansers to use instead of harsh soaps, some super-protective moisturizers, and even a gentle hand sanitizer. If that is enough and it can be for milder cases then we can get by without any medications at all. […] Dr. Kindred says that keeping skin moisturized is an important part of treating dyshidrotic eczema. Use lotions containing ceramides and then cover with a barrier ointment, such as petroleum jelly, she says.

    If bullae (blisters) are present, the following measures are appropriate: Apply compresses with Burow solution (10% aluminum acetate) in a 1:40 dilution until bullae resolve (usually within a few days) […] Compresses with a 1:10.000 solution of potassium permanganate are also effective […] Drain large bullae with a sterile syringe, and leave the roof intact […] Prescribe systemic antibiotics that cover Staphylococcus aureus and group A streptococci. […] Topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment. Typically, class I steroids are administered initially, followed by class II or III steroids. Ointments penetrate the skin better than creams do, though patients may prefer creams during the day. Topical antipruritics with pramoxine are useful. […] Systemic corticosteroids can also be used. Either oral prednisone or intramuscular triamcinolone suspension may be administered for severe episodes. Tapering of prednisone can follow intramuscular treatment. Patients should be followed and their blood pressure checked 1 week after initiation of prednisone.

    Your dermatologist will create a treatment plan for you to follow at home. This treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and may include the following: […] Soaks and cool compresses: Medicated soaks and cool compresses can be very effective for drying blisters. You will apply these two to four times a day for 15 minutes at a time. […] Corticosteroid that you apply to your skin: After each soak or cool compress, youll likely need to apply a medicated cream or ointment, such as a prescription corticosteroid. This helps to reduce the inflammation and clear the blisters. […] Anti-itch medicine: An antihistamine pill or other anti-itch medicine can reduce your discomfort. Anything you can do to reduce scratching is helpful because scratching tends to worsen dyshidrotic eczema. One anti-itch medication that dermatologists frequently include in a treatment plan is pramoxine.

    But with more severe dyshidrotic eczema, medication and other treatments are necessary for symptom relief, say both doctors. […] We usually will add either a topical steroid or a nonsteroidal topical such as tacrolimus (Protopic) to cool things down, says Lio. […] These are among the medications that may be prescribed: Potent topical steroids such as clobetasol, fluocinonide (Lidex), halobetasol (Bryhali), and triamcinolone (Kenalog). […] If that is still not enough, we often use phototherapy with narrow band ultraviolet (UVB) light to cool the inflammation with a specialized light, Lio says. […] It may also be worth asking your doctor about patch testing on your skin to determine whether your dyshidrotic eczema has some type of allergic component. […] There are many natural moisturizers that can be soothing, such as sunflower seed oil and coconut oil, says Lio.

    https://www.dermatologyadvisor.com/home/decision-support-in-medicine/dermatology/dyshidrotic-dermatitis/
    Treatment options for dyshidrotic dermatitis are summarized in the Table 1. […] High potency topical corticosteroids are the first-line agents used in the treatment of dyshidrotic dermatitis. For the palms and soles, clobetasol ointment may be used up to twice daily. Their efficacy can be enhanced when used under occlusion with white, cotton gloves to limit the potential for sensitization. Topical drying agents can be used in the acute vesicular phases like ammonium lactate 12% or carmol 20% cream. Daily emollient therapy with petrolatum (Vaseline) can also prove to be quite useful for these patients, both in the acute phase and during the periods between exacerbations. […] For patients who fail topical treatment, a physical treatment modality may be necessary to control their dyshidrotic dermatitis. Though only available in a few centers, superficial radiotherapy with the Grenz ray has been demonstrated to be successful in the treatment of dyshidrotic dermatitis in double-blind trials.

    Phototherapy with psoralens and UVA (PUVA), UVB, or UVA-1 has been employed in the treatment of severe cases of dyshidrotic dermatitis. All three modalities have been utilized with good results. UVA-1 was shown to yield similar results to PUVA therapy and may be selected over PUVA due to its more favorable side effect profile. […] For patients with severe and refractory disease, systemic therapy may be necessary to control their dyshidrotic dermatitis. Oral prednisone can be of benefit, especially if treatment is initiated early in the acute phase. The authors almost never use systemic steroids except for full-blown pomphlyx, in which case we have started with 1mg/kg/day for 1 week and then reducing the dose by half every week for 3 to 4 weeks. Cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and methotrexate have all been shown to improve dyshidrotic dermatitis; however, their use is limited by potential side effects and should be reserved for the most severe cases; the doses are similar to those used for the treatment of severe psoriasis or atopic dermatitis.
