Abstract

Background and Objective: Dermatitis is a multifactorial skin inflammatory diseases and economic burden due to high cost treatment. This disease decreases the quality of life. The objective of this research is to formulate a local applicant by using plant extracts and to evaluate its effects clinically on patients.
