Recently, alternative remedies have been investigated to supplement traditional
drugs in the treatment of dermatological disorders including psoriasis, photo-
toxicity, allergic reactions, and atopic dermatitis (AD). The following highlights
recently reported medicaments. Emphasis is placed on those in vitro and in vivo
controlled studies that follow the evidence-based dermatology guidelines (1) and

approach to analysis, and validity of the experimental methodology including the
possibility for extrapolation to the clinical realm were given particular importance
in analyzing study results.
