Cutaneous Mastocytoses

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and tolerability of a novel topical preparation for the treatment of cutaneous lesions of mastocytosis.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTTopical preparation of sodium cromolyn 5%, diphenhydramine 1% and trolamine salicylate 10% in emollient cream base.

Combination of ingredients includes 2 agents which target mast cell mediators and one agent which globally reduces mast cell degranulation combined in an emollient cream base (Vanicream).components: Vanicream: Over the counter emollient cream Diphenhydramine Antihistamine Trolamine salicylate Prostaglandin inhibitor, antiinflammatory Cromolyn Sodium Mast cell degranulation inhibitor

SkinDex-16 Quality of Life QuestionnaireBaselineThis validated questionnaire is a 16-item, participant-reported survey used to assess quality of life impacts due to the participant's skin condition. Scores range from 0 to 6, where 0 is never bothered by the skin condition and 6 is always bothered by the skin condition. Results are summed to produce an overall score, ranging from 0 to 96, where lower scores indicated a higher level of quality of life.
