Measure
Ointment Right/Cream Left
Pt. will use 0.1% triamcinolone OINTMENT with wet-wrap dressing on right side and 0.1% triamcinolone CREAM with wet-wrap dressing on left side of bilateral flare of atopic dermatitis twice daily as instructed. 0.1% triamcinolone CREAM: Patients will be asked to apply a topical steroid in a cream formulation to one extremity using the wet wrap technique. 0.1% triamcinolone OINTMENT: Patients will be asked to apply a topical steroid in a ointment formulation to one extremity using the wet wrap technique.
Ointment Left/Cream Right

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 3-5 days

Population: Patients ages 3 to 17 experiencing a symmetric, bilateral flare of atopic dermatitis.

Patient-reported adherence to wet-wrap protocol. Medication logs were used to evaluate adherence to the treatment protocol for both steroid formulations. Patents were determined to be adhering to the protocol if the number of wet-wraps for each study arm (cream or ointment) were the same. Because the total number of wraps varied between patients (the protocol required 1-2 wraps per day for 3-5 days), we reviewed medication logs to determine that each patient completed an equivalent number of ointment and cream wraps.
