Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD) represent
challenging problems regarding their management
and incidence.
Atopic dermatitis is the most common inflammatory
skin disease in childhood
Treatments include Vaseline, corticosteroids,
cetirizine, antibacterial drugs and phototherapy
Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) is one of the common-est skin
problems seen by general practitioners
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory and proliferative
disorder of skin that results in a rapid turnover of the
skin cells that move rapidly up to the surface in 3–5
days. This leads to thickening of the su-perficial layers.
For PV involving less than 20% of body surface area, initial
treatment is topical including emollients (paraffin), keratolytics
(salicylic acid), coal tar, zinc, retinoids, dithranol, betamethazone
and calcipotriene.
Adverse effects include skin irritation, salicylate intoxication,
unpleasant odor, staining of clothes, thinning of skin, steroid striae,
telangiec-tasia, potential carcinogenic risk and tachyphylaxis with
repeated use of steroids.
Other treatments such as phototherapy and systemic therapy
(methotrex-ate, cyclosporine, acitretine) are associated with
toxicity.
Honey reduces inflammation, edema, and exudation,
promotes healing, diminishes scar size, and stimulates
tissue regeneration
Olive oil, beeswax and honey are natural materials
that contain favonoids, antioxidants, antibacterial in-
gredients and effects cytokines production by skin
cells when applied topically
The objective of the study is to investigate the
therapeutic effect of honey mixture prepared by
mixing natural honey, beeswax and olive oil on the
skin lesions in patients with AD
