Nagasaki University Japan - Impact of wearing Comfiknit (Eczewear) Atopic Eczema® T-shirts on patients with atopic dermatitis: An open-label pilot study
This study assessed the impact of wearing a specialized T-shirt, the Comfiknit Atopic Eczema® T-shirt, on atopic dermatitis (AD) patients during summer and winter. Ten adults with AD participated in a 4-week open-label pilot study during each season. Results showed improvements in AD symptoms, including reduced Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), and itch Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores. The T-shirt increased stratum corneum water content (SCWC) without affecting skin pH or bacterial cultures. Overall, wearing these T-shirts helped prevent AD exacerbation year-round, suggesting they may contribute to skin homeostasis.
