If you need systemic medication to manage your atopic eczema, you will likely experience different treatments over time. This treatment journey will reflect many variables, including your personal choices, your disease and its activities, your daily activities, as well as cost and accessibility of treatments. You may receive one or two types of medication to put atopic eczema into remission (to put the disease to sleep) and then switch to another medication for maintenance, long-term. At this time, we do not have any medications that give a lasting cure.
