Epidermal barrier insufficiency results in skin dryness and fissures in different chronic dermatoses. Barrier dysfunction is due either to genetic problems or lipid deficiency or damage of tight junction proteins. Here we discuss various abnormalities of epidermal barrier in eczema and psoriasis which necessitate to prescribe pro- tective and moisturizing agents to restore skin barrier. We give our own practice data of using Bariederm cream and balm in combined therapy of dyshidrotic eczema, plantar eczema and palmoplantar psoriasis.
