Open-Label Study: Over-the-Counter Oat Flour/Oat Oil/ Oat Extract-containing Lotion With Avenanthramides for Sensitive Skin and Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common skin condition that affects the physical and emotional well-being of patients.

Skin afflictions such as atopic dermatitis and pruritis share etiological similarities with psoriasis, and oatmeal (Avena sativa)-containing lotion has proven effective in treating the symptoms of those conditions. However, data on the use of an over-the-counter oatmeal-containing lotion alone to treat the symptoms of psoriasis are limited.
