Skin in the Game: Tackling Atopic Dermatitis with Topical Treatment - Episode 2
Older Approaches to Topical Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
Panelists discuss how older topical treatments such as corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and crisaborole have limited efficacy with prolonged use. Corticosteroids cause skin thinning and systemic absorption on large body surface area (BSA). Calcineurin inhibitors and crisaborole show modest efficacy, with application site reactions.
Video content above is prompted by the following:
- What are some of the common uses as well as limitations of older topical treatment options (topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, crisaborole)?
- Adverse effects, BSA limitations, long-term effects of steroids
- Discuss your approach to treatment for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
