Management Guidelines for Atopic Dermatitis

Management guidelines for atopic dermatitis focus on minimizing triggers, moisturizing the skin regularly to restore its barrier, and using medications like topical steroids or antihistamines when needed to reduce inflammation and itch. It’s important to avoid irritants, use gentle skin care products, and maintain good hydration. Keeping nails short and wearing soft, breathable clothing can prevent skin damage from scratching. In some cases, healthcare providers may recommend specialized treatments like emollients or allergy testing. Overall, consistent skin care and avoiding known irritants help control symptoms and improve quality of life.
