Abstract

A proportion of children and adults with moderate to severe atopic eczema are not adequately controlled with emollients and topical steroids, resulting in significant morbidity and disability. Studies indicate a significant placebo response, so randomized controlled trials of new treatments are vital. This article reviews the evidence for phototherapy and systemic treatments in atopic eczema.
