Perbandingan Kelembaban Kulit Normal Dan Dermatitis Atopik Menggunakan Skin Analyzer Di Kota Pekanbaru
ABSTRACT
The skin is the largest organ in the human body and acts as the body's defense against external agents such as microorganisms, UV radiation, and physical and chemical stimuli. One of the parameters most often used to assess skin barrier function, both in healthy skin and in certain diseases, is to assess skin moisture or hydration measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin capacitance (Scap) with the Skin Analyzer. There are various diseases that are accompanied by skin moisture disorders, including atopic dermatitis. The aim of this study was to determine the comparison of skin moisture (percentage of water content) in normal skin and in people with atopic dermatitis using a skin analyzer. This research is an analytical study, with a cross sectional design which was conducted on 46 outpatients of the Skin and Venereology Polyclinic at Petala Bumi Hospital and Arifin Achmad Hospital and fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria using the consecutive sampling method within a period of 4 months. The results of the study showed that from 46 samples, the average skin moisture level for normal respondents was 35% from 23 respondents and the average skin moisture level for atopic dermatitis respondents was 12% from 23 respondents. Based on the research results, the comparison results of normal skin moisture and atopic dermatitis using the Mann Whitney test showed a value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05), so it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between normal skin moisture and atopic dermatitis.
