Overview

The mainstay of treatment for atopic dermatitis depends upon the severity of the disease and is treated with a combination of conservative and medical therapy. The goals of treatment include elimination of aggravating factors, skin barrier function repair, maintaining skin hydration and pharmacologic treatment of skin inflammation. Pharmacologic medical therapies for atopic dermatitis can be classified according to the several severity scales including SCORAD index, the eczema area and severity index (EASI) and the patient-oriented eczema measure (POEM).

Conservative Therapy

Elimination of exacerbating factors Maintaining skin hydration Controlling pruritus
  • Emollients and moisturizers
  • Bathing practices
    • Warm soaking baths or showers using mild or soap-free cleansers

Medical Therapy
