Hello.If your symptoms have not improved with the application of local corticosteroids and intake of prednisona by mouth , appropriate drugs for your atopic eczema are called immunomodulators such as pimecrolimus or tacrolimus
cream.Please go to your dermatologist for examination and prescription.
I wish you good health.
