The clinical observation of high-energy red fight combined with human-like collagen dressing in treatment of facial corticosteroid addictive dermatitis

Abstract

Objective To observe the efficacy of high-energy red light combined with human-like collagen dressing in treatment of facial corticosteroid addictive dermatitis.Methods Eighty-three patients with facial corticosteroid addictive dermatitis were divided into treatment group (42 cases) and control group (41 cases) by random digits table method.All patients in 2 groups were treated with ebastine 10 mg,once a day,and vitamin E cream,twice a day.At the same time,the patients in control group were given human-like collagen dressing,once a day in the first week,then 3 times/week.On the basis of control treatment,the patients in treatment group were irradiated with high-energy red light 10 min in face,2-3 times/week.The treatment of both groups lasted for 12 weeks.The symptoms,skin lesions and untoward reaction were observed after treatment of 4,8 and 12 weeks.Results After treatment of 4 weeks,there was no statistical difference in the effective rate between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment of 8 and 12 weeks,the effective rates in treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group [83.3％(35/42) vs.58.5％ (24/41),90.5％ (38/42) vs.65.9％ (27/41)],there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).No untoward reaction was found in 2 groups.Conclusion High-energy red light combined with human-like collagen dressing is effective and safe in treatment of facial corticosteroid addictive dermatitis.
