Modern external therapy of dermatoses is aimed at controlling the subjective symptoms, the dynamics of inflammatory manifestations, the achievement and duration of remission. The step-by-step approach to the treatment of dermatoses in children and adults is based on the adequate use of various external forms and means according to the inflammatory manifestations and localization of the inflammatory process. The article describes clinical cases of treatment of atopic dermatitis in patients aged 8 and 11, and contact allergic dermatitis in a 15-year-old adolescent using methylprednisolone aceponate cream with ceramides in its base, tacrolimus ointment and emollients. High efficacy and safety of anti-inflammatory drugs for external use have been shown. Clinical examples have proven that the combined use of topical corticosteroids and emollients contributes to a rapid reduction of skin dryness and itching, as well as the intensity of inflammation. The possibility of combining methylprednisolone aceponate cream with ceramides in the base once a day and emollients with physiological lipids increases the effectiveness of therapy and reduces the risks of side effects when using topical corticosteroids in children.
