Abstract:
The optimal treatment of atopic dermatitis requires regular medical supervision. The course of this chronic skin disease is influenced by multiple triggers which are relevant for the treatment. The mainstays of topical therapy include regular use of emollients coupled with antimicrobial substances, corticosteroids and immune modulators as required. Ultraviolet radiation and immunosuppressive regimens represent further options for the treatment of severe exacerbations and may lead to long term improvement. Data from experimental studies provide insight into possible future treatment methods.
