Letawe, C. Piérard-Franchimont, G. E. Piérard] Objective: Squamometry is a non-invasive test allowing a reproducible rating of cutaneous xerosis including atopic dermatitis lesions. The method was used to compare the efficacy of proprietary topical corticosteroids in alleviating signs of atopic xerosis. Results: The steroid compounds and their vehicles improve the texture of the stratum corneum at different rates after treatment for 1 week. Some differences in efficacy may be explained by the nature of the vehicle, which enhances the basic pharmacological activity of the corticosteroid itself.
