Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflamed, itchy, and irritated skin. It can significantly impact quality of life, leading to discomfort and potential disruptions in daily activities. Managing atopic dermatitis often involves a combination of treatments aimed at reducing inflammation, alleviating symptoms, and restoring the skin's barrier function. Medications for atopic dermatitis include topical treatments, such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors, which help reduce inflammation and itching directly at the affected sites. Systemic medications, such as oral corticosteroids and biologics, may be used for more severe cases.
