Local anti-inflammatory agents and emollients are used to treat atopic dermatitis. Emollients are the mainstay of treatment and they
are part of everyday skin care for atopic patients. It includes a wide range of over-the-counter medicinal products and therapeutic
cosmetics. Hydrocortisone is the only local corticosteroid sold over the counter. Also available are products containing ichthammol,
including the cosmetically more acceptable variants of white ichthammol. When atopic eczema is accompanied by type I allergy, some
antihistamines are available.
