INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES

Some mild cutaneous conditions do not necessarily deserve a prescription drug as a first line treatment. This is typically the case with dry eczematides (DE), unspecific irritative and cracked dermatitis (ICD), non-disease specific irritations of the lips, genitals and peri anal region (LGPA), rubbing irritations (RI) and superficial burns (SB). For these conditions a healing product may solve the problem with expectations including perfect tolerance, rapid calming effect and quick come back to a mark-free skin across phototypes worldwide. Evidence is growing that to restore skin microbiome plays an important role.
This study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a prebiotic-containing healing balm in the management of irritations of various etiologies.
