Research Article: Topical Corticosteroid Phobia Among Parents of Children with Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)- A Cross-Sectional Study

Date Published: 2023-11-02

Abstract:
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by itching and redness in multiple skin areas. The exact pathogenesis of AD is unknown, but it has been suggested that an interaction between genetic and environmental factors causes it. Environmental factors are associated with both local and systemic immune dysregulation in patients with AD who have a compromised skin barrier due to genetic predisposition.– TCS remain an important component of therapy, and when used appropriately, TCS is highly effective, has a low relapse rate, and causes few local and systemic adverse effects. However, many parents of children affected by AD had significant fear and anxiety about using it,, which causes therapeutic failures due to poor adherence. The Topical Corticosteroids phobia (TCP) may have a significant impact on the everyday activities of the parents of children patients with AD, in particular, due to the fact that the age at which AD is most common is also the age at which the parent-child bond is at its most profound. The identification of TCP is thus an essential step in treating patients with AD.,
