New in My Practice OTC: Kamedis Calm Eczema Therapy Cream

With Lawrence J. Green, MD

In each issue, Practical Dermatology® magazine asks leading physicians about new over-the-counter or prescription treatments that they are recommending to patients. This month, Lawrence J. Green, MD, Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington DC, discusses Kamedis Calm Eczema Therapy Cream, which he has been suggesting to his patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) for about 18 months.

What is Kamedis Calm Eczema Therapy Cream?

Lawrence J. Green, MD: The Kamedis Calm Eczema Therapy cream is an over-the-counter botanical product that reduces the signs and symptoms of mild to moderate AD or eczema. It is a simple, safe cream that anyone with eczema that is localized can buy and use on their own. Its active ingredients are botanicals, which are both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. People with eczema have higher amounts of bacteria on their skin. Some of the botanicals are Rheum palmatum (a rhubarb plant) and Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice root) extracts, and Scutellaria and Cnidium (chinese herbs).

How does Kamedis Calm Eczema Therapy Cream stand out from other AD creams?

Dr. Green: I think Kamedis Calm Eczema Therapy stands out because it is a clinically proven effective for mild to moderate eczema and you can get it without a prescription. I also think what really makes it stand out is its mix of botanicals that include Chinese herbals and other botanicals like Rhubarb. There is no other cream that uses botanicals to help relieve eczema signs and symptoms.

Which AD patients stand to benefit?

Dr. Green: I think anyone with mild to moderate eczema or even anyone with inflamed, overly sensitive skin would benefit from this product and that is who I recommend it to.

How do you suggest that your patients use this product?

Dr. Green: People should use this product twice daily on the areas of skin that are inflamed and overly irritated or where they have had or usually get the rash of eczema. I instruct people to wash their skin with a gentle cleanser or soap first, gently dry the area, and then apply Kamedis Calm Eczema Therapy Cream and rub it into and around the affected areas. (Kamedis makes an eczema therapy wash that pairs nicely with the cream.)

What type of results are your patients seeing with regular use?

Dr. Green: My patients are happy and feel that their skin is less inflamed and irritated. The ones who have eczema also note a lessening of the eczema where they apply the cream twice daily. Most of my patients begin to notice results after using the product for only a week or two.
