Objective: This study investigates the correlation between age and treatment duration in determining treatment efficacy for various dermatological conditions, focusing on conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on cases documented in a clinical setting. Data included patient age, treatment type, treatment duration, and improvement rates measured through visual assessments and clinical scoring. Treatments were categorized into ceramide-based creams, topical antibiotics, and general moisturizers.

Results: The results demonstrated significant differences in treatment response based on age, with younger patients showing faster improvement. Ceramide-based treatments were the most effective in restoring the skin barrier and reducing symptoms, particularly in children. Statistical analysis revealed that age and treatment type significantly impact the rate of skin recovery (p< 0.05).

Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of age-specific and targeted dermatological treatments. Ceramides proved particularly effective in enhancing barrier function and moisture retention, supporting existing studies on their use in barrier repair.
