Studysummary This study found that combining fractional CO₂ laser with halometasone cream improved chronic eczema more effectively than halometasone alone, with efficacy varying by laser parameters and showing better results at 4 weeks compared to 1 week. Pain was noted with higher energy treatments.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of fractional CO2 laser treatment with different parameters combined with topical halometasone for chronic eczema. The study found that combining the laser treatment with halometasone cream was more effective than using the cream alone, with better results observed at 4 weeks post-treatment compared to 1 week. The efficacy varied based on laser parameters, with higher energy (50 mJ) showing faster onset but more pain, while smaller dot spacing (0.6 mm) provided better long-term results. The study recommends using 30 mJ energy and 0.6 mm dot spacing for optimal results, though further research is needed to confirm these findings.
