Topical Applications of Antioxidants for Atopic Dermatitis

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a skin disease which majorly affects the children. It can be caused by dust, mites,
pets and food allergens. Atopic dermatitis is induced by the allergens and ends up in the elevated level of
Immunoglobulin G. People from the developing countries such as New Zealand and U.S are more prone
to atopic dermatitis skin disease because of the low level of melanin production in their skin. This can
be reduced by the use of natural compounds such as glutathione derived from plants. In this article, the
functioning and active molecules of glutathione for atopic dermatitis are discussed.
