Atopic Dermatitis
Hi, I am 40 years old from Chennai. I have been suffering from atopic Dermatitis for more than 13 years now. I have been on weekly once / twice topical steroids for almost the entire 13 years. My skin has thinned quite badly in certain areas. I want to switch to non steroidal medications to stop further skin thinning and read about non steroidal medications like biologics (Dupilumab etc.) and non steroidal topical creams like tacrolimus, pimecrolimus which don't think the skin. I want to know if these are promising treatments. Also, while I understand that skin thinning is probably irreversible, I wonder if there exist any medical cosmetic procedures that might help thicken skin to some extent. Please advise

The nonsteroidal treatment options are effective according to severity of the disease. Consult dermatologist for atopic dermatitis who will prescribe medicines after examining you and depending on the severity oral and topical treatment can be planned alongwith precaution and preventive measures. Thinned out skin will heal in time (may be not 100%)
