Abstract

To test the efficacy of tri-herbal combination on atopic dermatitis in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Forty-nine patients were included for 2 weeks of treatment. Patients were followed until week 8. The response to the real medication was significant in objective and subjective parameters. Patients maintained partial remission until the end of follow-up. The placebo-treated group had a similar response without a significant difference. Treatment with tri-herbal combination for atopic dermatitis does not differ from treatment with placebo.
