High IgE level above 1600 skin flare ups

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

My son has *atopic dermatitis*, he keeps getting flare ups from past year. His skin is extremely dry and gets red and itchy easily. At skin folds near elbows and thighs skin hasn't properly repaired. His IgE level is. Above 1600 and dermatologist has prescribed *Psorid* for controlling his IgE. This med has so many side effects, we are worried. Other than that he was given Zempred 8mg/ prutraz 25mg per day. For a week.(extended for 10 days now) We use, Atogla lotion Nmfe body wash And all care is being taken. Does IgE level resolve on its own? What are safer ways to improve his condition without constant medication.
