Topical cromolyn (disodium cromoglycate) solution in the treatment of young children with atopic dermatitis.
A double-blind, randomized-group comparative trial was conducted to assess the therapeutic effect of cromolyn solution on atopic dermatitis in young children (less than 3 yr old). Topically applied cromolyn solution was found to be very effective, improving dermatitis, itching and sleep disturbance, with no untoward effects.
