Is atopic dermatitis only treated with medication?
The doctor will only prescribe medication (such as mild topical steroid creams) if your child’s skin requires it (itching, superinfection, blisters, etc.), usually during eczema attacks and taking into account the overall state of your child’s skin condition. The rest of the time, advice on hygiene and skincare should be followed daily: cleanse your child’s skin gently with a soap-free washing base as a cleansing cream , a bar or a or a cleansing bath oil which does not aggress the skin, then moisturize* with an emollient cream every day until his atopic dermatitis improves.
