Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis can be difficult to treat, new guidelines include biologics as being the standard of therapy due to their efficacy. Other therapies are gaining traction as adjunctive therapy for these dermatological conditions. Treatment guidelines for conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis include a range of options. For atopic dermatitis, treatments involve topicals such as corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, VTAMA, and Opzelura, as well as biologics like Dupixent, Adbry, and Ebglyss, and Jak inhibitors such as Cinbinqo and Rinvoq. Psoriasis is treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors, and IL-23 inhibitors. Light therapy is also recognized as an important adjunctive treatment for these conditions.
In addition, over the counter (OTC) medications are commonly used for dermatological issues, and their appropriate application and duration are key in deciding when to seek advanced care. Nonpharmacological treatments such as wound care and skincare routines, including moisturizers, are also significant. Ongoing research is focused on new therapies, with particular attention to biologics for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Barriers to treatment include financial concerns, cost-effectiveness, prescription assistance programs, insurance, and myths about biologics. Challenges such as compliance, needle phobia, and uncertainty about treatment efficacy also need consideration, along with the importance of lab monitoring and follow-up care.
