Oregano Ointment vs. Standard Treatment for Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis

This study is designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3% oregano extract ointment prepared in aqueous solution versus 1% hydrocortisone ointment, a standard treatment, in decreasing the inflammation associated with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. We plan to recruit 40 patients on the ages comprised between 2 and 17 years old and the study duration for each of the patient is 1 month.
