Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to explore the clinical application of aseptic skin repair dressing in facial dermatitis.

Patients and methods: A total of 80 patients with facial dermatitis admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from February 2020 to May 2021 were enrolled. And randomly assigned to the control group and study group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received nicotinamide and narrow-band red light, while the study group received nicotinamide, narrow-band red light, and sterile skin repair dressing. The clinical efficacy, symptom score, erythema, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and adverse reactions were compared after treatment.

Results: After treatment, the study group exhibited significantly lower symptom scores, erythema amount, and TEWL value compared to the control group (P < .05). The clinical efficacy rate in the study group (97.5%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (82.5%) (P < .05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (2.5% vs. 5%) (P > .05).

Conclusion: Aseptic skin repair dressing, employed as an adjunctive therapy for facial dermatitis, demonstrates a noteworthy capacity to effectively mitigate parameters such as patient symptom scores, facial erythema quantity, and TEWL values. Notably, the application of this dressing does not pose an elevated risk of adverse reactions. These merits substantiate the superior therapeutic efficacy of aseptic skin repair dressing in facilitating the treatment of facial dermatitis.
