Abstract in brief

  • This study showed that applying virgin coconut oil (VCO) topically for eight weeks significantly improved atopic dermatitis symptoms in children, reducing the SCORAD index more than mineral oil did.
  • VCO also decreased water loss through the skin (TEWL) and increased skin hydration (capacitance), indicating better skin barrier function compared to mineral oil treatment.
  • Overall, VCO was more effective than mineral oil in improving both clinical symptoms and skin health in children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.]
