The present invention relates, inter alia, to a method of ameliorating an inflammatory skin condition. Thus, the present invention provides a peptide that includes the amino acid sequence KMIKP (SEQ ID NO: 20), wherein the peptide includes no more than 70 amino acids and wherein the peptide is capable of inhibiting allergen induced Langerhans cell migration, and wherein the peptide is not that depicted in SEQ ID NO. 19. The present invention also relates to the use of a peptide that includes the amino acid sequence KMIKP (SEQ ID NO: 20), wherein the peptide includes no more than 100 amino acids, and wherein the peptide is capable of inhibiting allergen induced Langerhans cell migration, in the manufacture of a topical medicament for the treatment of an inflammatory skin condition.
