Study Overview
Brief Summary
*NÄr FÄrsÄ« (*Eczema) is a chronic skin disease, with high incidence, and recurrence. Moreover, topical steroids used in the management of eczema impair barrier functions and exhibit the adverse effects, such as skin atrophy, pituitary adrenal axis suppression, and masked infections, and steroid withdrawal can lead to sudden and severe rebound aggression, thinning of skin with striae, bruising, delayed wound healing, depigmentation, etc. Thus, there is no promising cure for eczema; hence the present clinical study has been designed to evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a topical Unani Formulation Habb-e- Akuta in the management of eczema.
