Atopic eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, requires a multifaceted management approach to alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Key strategies include the use of emollients to maintain skin hydration and barrier function, which is essential for reducing itching and irritation. Topical corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to manage inflammation during flare-ups, while calcineurin inhibitors offer a steroid-sparing option for sensitive areas.
Patients are advised to identify and avoid triggers such as allergens, irritants, and stress, which can exacerbate symptoms. Implementing a gentle skincare routine with fragrance-free products can further soothe the skin. In severe cases, systemic treatments like immunomodulators or biologics may be considered. Educating patients about the importance of regular follow-ups with dermatology specialists ensures tailored care and effective long-term management of atopic eczema.
