Q

Atopic derm tx

A

Antihistamines → ↓ itching

Topical corticosteroids = mainstay of the treatment; systemic corticosteroids should be
avoided

Tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are topical calcineurin inhibitors (immunomodulators) approved for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis
(less atrophy w/ prolonged use when compared to topical corticosteroids but may carry a potential to cause malignancy)

Hydration and topical emollients are key to management

Soaps, vigorous rubbing, frequent bathing, and irritant clothing such as wool should be avoided

UVB phototherapy is effective

Severe systemic cases may necessitate cyclosporine
