TOPICOP©: A New Scale Evaluating Topical Corticosteroid Phobia among Atopic Dermatitis Outpatients and Their Parents
T6, 31/07/2015 - 11:08The fear of using topical corticosteroids, usually called topical corticophobia, is a frequent concern for atopic dermatitis patients and/or their parents. Assessing patients’ atopic dermatitis and their parents’ topical corticosteroid phobia is an essential step to improving adherence to treatment.

Thus, a scale is needed, which is capable of identifying the subtleties of topical corticosteroid phobia.

Infantile cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) (J. Robert*)
T6, 31/07/2015 - 11:09Cow’s milk protein allergies (CMPA) affect 2 to 3% of infants. They appear when weaning or when giving the first bottles of milk.
