Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements were done under standardized conditions (room temperature of 22–25 °C and humidity levels of 30–35%). Patients were acclimatized for a minimum of 10 min, with their volar forearm skin exposed. Measurements were taken from an area of clinically unaffected skin on the volar forearm using the Tewameter® TM 300 (Courage + Khazaka electronic GmbH, Cologne, Germany).
