Abstract
Background: Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is the most typical kind of occupational skin disease and is an inflammatory cutaneous disorder. Objective: This case report aims to provide insight into the effects of Marham Kafoor in ICD. Intervention: A 50-year-old male presented with lesions on his left foot, accompanied by serous discharge, severe itching, and a burning sensation. For a period of 45 days, Marham Kafoor was topically applied twice a day at a dose of 6-8 gm. The patient was assessed on the 0th day, 15th day, 30th day, and 45th day on the basis of the EASI, POEM, and VAS. Results: After the intervention, significant improvement was observed in all scales from baseline to 45th day. EASI changes from 21 (moderate) to 4 (mild), POEM changes from 23 (severe) to 5(mild), and VAS from 9 (severe) to 3 (mild). Skin lesions began to improve on the 15th day and almost resolved after the 45th day. Conclusion: Marham Kafoor has been proven beneficial in treating ICD and enhancing patients' quality of life. To determine the effectiveness of Marham Kafoor in the management of eczema, rigorous, controlled, randomized, blinded, and long-term follow-up studies on high sample sizes are required.
