Consensus‐based European guidelines for treatment of atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults and children: part II

Andreas Wollenberg, S. Barbarot, Thomas Bieber, Stéphanie Christen‐Zaech et al.

Short summary

European guidelines recommend established systemic immunosuppressants (cyclosporine, methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolic acid) for severe refractory atopic eczema, with biologics like dupilumab as a safe and effective alternative. Antimicrobial therapy is advised for superinfections, and allergen-specific immunotherapy may be considered for selected cases. Psychosomatic counselling and patient education ('Eczema school') are also recommended.
