Abstract

Background: “Facial corticosteroid-addictive dermatitis (FCAD)” appeared in 2006, referring to chronic inflammatory lesions on the facial skin caused by long-term use of corticosteroid-containing preparations. It has diverse clinical symptoms and is a relatively difficult disease to treat completely. Medlo and Sensive serum meet the treatment requirements, but have never been studied in combination to treat FCAD before. Objectives: Describe clinical characteristics and anxiety levels in patients with corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis (FCAD) coming for examination in 2022 - 2024. Evaluating the results of topical treatment with Sensive serum combined with Medlo and the level of satisfaction in patients with corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis (FCAD) in 2022 – 2024. Materials and methods: The patient was diagnosed with corticosteroid addictive dermatitis of the face at the FOB Cosmetic Skin Research Institute. Cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: The majority of patients are female (96,7%), aged >30% (78,3%), and mainly housewives (35%); FCAD patients had anxiety symptoms before treatment, accounting for 58,3%; Actually, Anxiety accounts for 21,7% and after treatment, the anxiety rate is 0% and only 5% have anxiety symptoms. The majority of patients had moderate severity (70%), severe severity 17%, and mild severity 13%. There is a difference in treatment results between the number of times Medlo is applied and Sensive serum is applied; There is a relationship between applying Medlo and applying Sensive serum with the level of treatment response (p < 0,001); After 12 weeks of treatment, patient satisfaction with symptom improvement reached 80,5±8,7; Treatment-related satisfaction 83,2 ± 7,1; Satisfaction with social life 87,9 ± 5,6; After 24 weeks, symptom satisfaction level was 91,9 ± 4,5; Treatment-related satisfaction 92,9 ± 3,9 and Satisfaction with social life 95,1 ± 3,8; The difference is statistically significant p < 0,001.  Conclusions: FCAD patients are mostly female, age group >30 years old, and housewives; Before treatment, 21,7% of FCAD patients had anxiety, and 0% of them had anxiety after treatment. There is a relationship between applying Medlo and Sensive serum with the level of treatment response p < 0,001; There is a difference in patient satisfaction after 12 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment
