Silymarin (SM) is a polyphenolic flavonoid from Silybum marianum L.  and has several therapeutic characteristics including antiallergic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Fumaria officinalis is a small plant that has a high antioxidant power and modulating effects on the immune system. Therefore, the current study intended to examine the influence of these two herbs extract on severity and symptoms of AD in patients.Materials and Methods: ۴۰ patients with mild to moderate eczema randomly received mometasone ۰.۱% or the herbal cream.
