22 | Asteatotic Eczema [By Dr. Gautam Shah, Dhule, MH] | ||||
A 70 year old female patient was diagnosed with asteatotic eczema . She was on continuous high doses of antibiotics and steroids for 3 months pruritic, dry, cracked,skin with irregular scaling on the shin of the tibia Asteatotic eczema is routinely treated with topical steroids and antibiotics.

In addition, these agents modify the body's immune response to diverse stimuli. We found ozone therapy effective in this and other such patients with dermatological disorders. The medicating effect of ozone therapy is based on a high oxidative – restorative potential of ozone, its intense disinfection activity in direction of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and its activation of metabolistic processes. Patient was treated with: Major auto haemotherapy, Bagging Local ozonated oil application AFTER 4 WEEKS : BEFORE >>>>>>> AFTER |
