What is the best medicine (ointment) for atopic dermatitis or skin asthma?

Answer by Clint E
try an air conditioner and change the filter often...also use head and shoulders.

Vacuum allot and get tile flooring.
moisturizing creams help the skin from flaking but you might find that boring after awhile. just soak in a hot tub every day.

I use clobetasol cream, a very strong corticosteroid that works wonders for me. Rash usually goes away the next day or in 2 days after application. Docs will usually give you triamcetamine first, as it's a lighter steroid better for you if it works.

Never heard of it being referred to as skin asthma before. It's also called eczema, and usually goes along with asthma, or in families that have asthma and eczema separately among the members.

there is this perscription cream called Ellidel, im not sure what percentage the cream is but i think its 2%. but u need to get a perscription. You have to make sure not to stress too much also because it will activate more of the eczema (atopic dermatitis). Also, you can buy something that you dont need a perscription and its called cortizone, but getting 2% cream is needed for a perscription. Make sure to not use any harsh soaps around the body because it will activate the eczema even more. make sure to moisturize your body often, if u dont have an open sore on ur condition you can yuse Cetaphil for dry skin, it can be bought in any drugstore...

hope this helps :) o and dont take hot baths...i hav eczema and it dries out the skin and makes it itchy.
