DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS® Hill chose to concentrate on developing a product for scalp psoriasis because no product gave satisfactory results when treating this disease. Hill's research led to the conclusion that the entire scalp is dry and needs to be treated to effectively control the disease. The refined peanut oil base softens and eliminates the crust and scales gently; adds moisture to the entire scalp and delivers a low-potency corticosteroid to reduce the inflammation, thereby eliminating the itch and redness. DERMA SMOOTHE/FS®(Scalp Oil) allows patients to achieve a normal-looking scalp safely and quickly. In clinical studies, the vast majority (81%) of the most severe patients achieved good-to-complete clearing of the signs and symptoms of scalp psoriasis within 3 weeks of once daily applications. Those results are unprecedented in the treatment of the scalp and are on file with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Patients who once suffered from the embarrassing symptoms of scalp psoriasis (crust stuck to their scalp, scales caught in their hair, debris falling on their clothing, red patches on the forehead, above the ears or at the nape of the neck) can now have a normal-looking scalp and lead a normal life! DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS® Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema is a chronic disease that affects twenty percent (20%) of the population. When Hill looked at this disease, there were many products on the market but nothing worked well. The key to treating the disease is to put moisture back into the skin and restore the skin barrier function. Hill recognized that medications for eczema needed to go beyond the itch and and developed DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS® (Body Oil) for widespread Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema. In clinical studies on file with the Food and Drug Administration, 87% of patients achieved good to complete clearing of the signs and symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema within 2 weeks of twice-a-day treatment. Those results are unparalleled in the treatment of such widespread disease. DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS® (Body Oil) is the safest topical corticosteroid product for patients with widespread involvement where more than 50% to as much as 90% of the body is affected by the disease. DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS® (Body Oil) is the only corticosteroid product that has been shown not to cause adrenal suppression in children *. The reason for its safety is the spreadability of its peanut oil vehicle, which allows for minimal exposure to the corticosteroid when treating widespread areas.

DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS® (Body Oil) is the most effective, the safest and the most affordable medication for Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema in children and adults. * October 29-30, 2003 Pediatric Advisory Committee and March 25, 2005 Committee of the FDA on the Safety of Topical Corticosteroids. DermOtic® Oil Ear Drops The outer ear canal is lined with skin the same as the rest of the human body, hence, this layer of skin is susceptible to the same conditions as other parts of the body such as the scalp and arms. Most diseases affecting the skin of the outer ear are therefore considered dermatologic. Chronic, itchy ears (Chronic Eczematous External Otitis) is a condition characterized by signs and symptoms that suggest inflammation, such as itching, redness, flaking and oozing. DermOtic® Oil Ear Drops peanut oil vehicle softens the skin and ear wax allowing it to work its way out of the ear canal naturally, while the mild corticosteroid relieves the itch and inflammation. In clinical trials 90% of patients experienced 90%-100% improvement (total clearing) within 2 weeks of twice a day application. Directions for use:
