New Therapeutic for Corticosteroid Induced Skin Damage

NEW YORK - June 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Topical corticosteroid medications (applied to the skin) are first line treatment for the management of inflammatory type skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, cutaneous lupus, and neurodermatitis. These conditions also tend to be chronic and patients experience recurrence which contributes to dependency on steroid creams/ointments.

However, topical corticosteroids are not used long term because of adverse drug side effects. Essentially, the ongoing use of topical corticosteroid often generates additional damage to the skin such as epidermal atrophy, degeneration of the dermal structure and collagen deterioration. Ongoing use of topical corticosteroids also lessens the skin’s ability to defend against bacterial and fungal infections. This increases susceptibility to paronychia and onychomycosis nail conditions.

Maállo is a post steroid therapeutic skin ointment for use after topical corticosteroid medication. As a daily maintenance therapeutic Maállo supports the structure of the dermis and hypodermis to 1) enhance repair capacity 2) suppress dermal inflammatory stimulus and 3) reduces dependency on topical corticosteroids.

Corticosteroid drugs are any of several synthetic or naturally occurring substances with the general chemical structure of steroids. They are used therapeutically to mimic or augment (enhance) the effects of the naturally occurring corticosteroids, which are produced in the cortex of the adrenal gland. Corticosteroids are very powerful drugs that affect the entire body; even corticosteroids used on large areas of skin for long periods are absorbed in sufficient quantity to cause systemic effects. Many of the synthetic corticosteroids, such as prednisone, prednisolone, triamcinolone, and betamethasone, are more potent than the naturally occurring compounds.
