Adequate Treatment for Inducing Refractory Atopic Dermatitis Patients into Remission

Abstract

Many atopic dermatitis patients are treated with topical steroid of inadequate strength or with mixtures of two or more topical product such approaches can result in chronic severe inflammation with lichenificated plaque. We treated 46 such refractory atopic dermatitis patients, who visited our outpatient clinic from 2012 to 2014, with only way strong or strangest topical steroids, and examined the period of time till remission. All the patients were successfully induced into remission, within an average of 9±4 days. In order to induce remission atopic dermatitis patients, we concludethat treatment utilizing topical steroid of adequate strength appears to be the most important.
