Atopic Dermatitis

Topical Steroids

Topical steroids are typically the first line of defense in treating atopic dermatitis. These medications are applied directly to the skin to reduce inflammation and relieve itching. They come in various strengths and formulations, and our dermatologists will recommend the most suitable one based on the severity of your condition.

Biologics (Injectable or Oral Systemic Medications)

Biologics are advanced medications specifically engineered for this type of condition. They can treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, especially in cases where it hasn’t responded well to other treatments. Our biologics target certain pathways in the immune system, playing a pivotal role in managing the inflammatory processes that underlie atopic dermatitis.

We offer biologics in the form of injectable or oral systemic medications. Injectable biologics for atopic dermatitis are administered under the skin (subcutaneously) with a fine needle and work by targeting cells in the immune system that contribute to the inflammatory process. This targeted approach allows for a more precise treatment with potentially fewer side effects than broader-acting systemic medications. Injectable biologics have been shown to significantly reduce the signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis, including itching and skin inflammation.

Oral systemic biologics, while less common than injectables for atopic dermatitis, offer another route of administration. These oral treatments also work by modulating specific parts of the immune system involved in the disease’s pathology. The convenience of oral administration can be an advantage for patients who prefer not to use injectable medications.
