Dear
welcome to healthcaremagic
Treatment of Dermatitis may require followings:
Reduction of exposure to trigger factors (where possible)
Regular emollients (moisturisers)
Intermittent topical steroids
In some cases, management may also include one of more of the following:
Topical calcineurin inhibitors such as pimecrolimus cream or tacrolimus ointment
Antibiotics
Antihistamines
Phototherapy
Oral corticosteroids
Longstanding and severe eczema may be treated with an immunosupressive agent.
Methotrexate
Ciclosporin
Azathioprine
take care thanks
