Cutaneous Mastocytoses
Conditions
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 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

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cutaneous Symptom Relief | 2 weeks | Number of participants who achieve complete resolution or near-complete clearing of cutaneous symptoms of treated, involved skin |
| SkinDex-16 Quality of Life Questionnaire | Baseline | This 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. |
