Algorithm for external treatment of dermatoses of mixed etiology

There has been an increase in the number of dermatology patients suffering from several concomitant skin diseasesof different etiology for the past decade. A special term - dermatoses of mixed etiology (DME) - was suggested todescribe this group of diseases. According to the authors, long-term uninterrupted treatment with one-component topicaldrugs or unreasonable administration of three-component combination agents is the most frequent reason for DME.The authors describe their positive experience of administering Travocort as a part of DME treatment. The effect of thedrug was observed as early as on the second day of its administration: there was an active regression of hyperemia,edemas and skin oozing lesions in the foci. Itching and stinging disappeared almost completely, which also alleviatedthe patients condition. On Days 3-4, no formation of new vesicles was observed, there were no oozing lesions, anderosion cuticularization began on an active basis. Therefore, Travocort is a highly efficient drug for treatment of infectiousdermatoses complicated with eczematization as well as chronic inflammatory diseases exacerbated by a concomitantfungous and bacterial infection.
