Atopic Dermatitis / Urticaria
I have been suffering from atopic Dermatitis since 2013, so with dry skin, hives, flaky skin. The doctors I initially consulted with mostly only prescribed topical steroids (clobetasol) and while this did make a difference, the effect was only temporary like a day or 2. In the year 2022, my skin condition became so worse that it got severely infected with liquid oozing. I consulted a docter who prescribed a short oral steroid course which made a big difference. Since then I have been using a topical steroid cream (clobetasol with fusidic acid) one a week with no issues whatsoever and very very rare flare ups for which I use the same cream no more than 2 days in a week. But since March this year, I have had two episodes of heat boils for which I had to take antibiotics. Now I see that the dryness and flakiness have started occurring again albeit in a smaller area.
My skin has thinned and I seek to know if there are non steroidal topical creams for this condition?
