(a,b) Comparison of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and stratum corneum hydration (SCH) between atopic dermatitis (AD) patients (Pt) and age‐matched controls (n = 7). Each site was measured three times, and the mean was used for analysis (Student’s t‐test). (c,d) Changes in TEWL and SCH levels in the lesions (hand, forehead, forearm anterior, forehead, cheek and forehead). Analyses were performed with two‐way anova and Dunnett’s test. (e) Changes in TEWL levels in six sites from the index date to 24 weeks. Analyses were performed with two‐way anova and Dunnett’s test. (f) Changes in SCH levels in six sites from the index date to 24 weeks.
