Hi,
Atopic dermatitis refers to itchy inflammation of the skin. Antihistamines and corticosteroids are the usual mode of treatment. Rarely calcineurin inhibitors may be required. Complete blood counts should be done to rule out any abnormalities. Topical antiseptics may also be required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
