The skin of children has its own anatomical and physiological characteristics, the epidermis is much thinner than in adults, the layers of the dermis and basement membrane are poorly developed and differentiated, the rate of transepidermal water loss is increased and the level of natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is reduced. Such a structure of the skin predisposes to a violation of its barrier function, contributes to the occurrence of skin diseases, provides an increased resorptive capacity of the skin and requires special attention when prescribing external therapy. The use of high-quality emollients is an important part of the basic treatment of chronic dermatoses and has its own characteristics in childhood. The use of emollients prevents the development of exacerbations and reduces the need for anti-inflammatory topical drugs. With the localization of the inflammatory process on the face, neck, genitals and large folds, it is necessary to give preference to short courses of topical glucocorticosteroids (THCS) with sufficient anti-inflammatory activity, rapid onset of action, minimal side effects. Given the high risk of side effects in children in these areas of the skin, strong fluorinated THCS, high-potency THCS, and the use of THCS under occlusive dressings are not recommended. The Russian experience of using 0.1% methylprednisolone aceponate in children of various age groups in the treatment of allergic dermatoses, including those with localization in sensitive areas, has shown good efficacy, tolerance and the absence of side effects. he article presents own clinical observations of the effectiveness of the use of combination therapy: an emollient agent - a special cream with physiological lipids omega 3-6-9 and cream methylprednisolone aceponate (with ceramides in the base) in the treatment of skin diseases in children with an emphasis on complex localizations, such as face, folds, genital area.

Introduction. Modern preventive measures of skin diseases aim to maintain the protective skin barrier. The area that comes in direct contact with the diaper becomes excessively wet, the corneous layer is damaged, which results in a weakened barrier function of the epidermis and the occurrence of an inflammatory process, diaper dermatitis.Aim. To study the clinical efficacy and safety of the use of disposable diapers and pull up pants in full-term and premature infants from birth to 1 year of age to prevent diaper dermatitis.Materials and methods. A total of 45 full-term and premature children under 1 year old with various diseases, including skin eruptions in the area covered by the diaper were included in the study. The proposed care products were used for 14 days on the strict condition that they would be reapplied after defecation and during hygiene procedures in a timely manner. The skin status was assessed visually by a paediatrician from Day 1 to 14 of the study using the M. Odio skin assessment scale.Results. The M. Odio scale evaluation of the skin around waist, buttocks, genitals, anal region, and inguinal folds in all children on Days 1, 7 and 14 showed 0 scores. No adverse events were reported during assessment of the skin status over 14 days of the use of care products.Discussion. The observations were consistent with the previously published data demonstrating that maintenance of the functional characteristics of the skin in the area covered by the diaper and exposed to faecal and urinary enzymes, elevated temperature and humidity prevented the development of diaper dermatitis and skin diseases.Conclusion. No signs of diaper dermatitis were detected in all 45 full-term and premature children under 1 year old, including children with various diseases, during 2 weeks of application of disposable Tanoshi Premium diapers and pull up pants in clinical practice. This fact proves the safety and good tolerance of disposable diapers by children under 1 year old provided that the skin care requirements were met. Tanoshi Premium diapers and pull up pants can be recommended for babies of different ages and body weights, including those with diaper dermatitis.
