  Neurodermatitis rarely goes away without treatment, and continued scratching can irritate nerve endings in skin, intensifying both itching and scratching. Over time, chronic scratching causes itchy patches of skin to become dry, leathery and thickened, which is called lichenification. […] When creating a treatment plan for neurodermatitis, its best to work closely with a dermatologist. They will most likely recommend multiple treatment types instead of just one option. Treatments for neurodermatitis are aimed at healing skin and ending the itch-scratch cycle. […] Treatments may include: Steroids: Dermatologists often use corticosteroids to help calm inflammation and itch and soften thickened skin. These are usually potent topical steroids, but if the skin is very thick, your dermatologist may inject a steroid into the patch. Non-steroidal topicals: Topicals such as calcineurin inhibitors and ointments made with salicylic acid can also be used to control itch caused by this skin disease. Occlusive treatments: Wraps that cover the affected area can help control itching and make it harder to scratch. These include applying plastic wrap after putting on topicals or moisturizer. Gauze treated with zinc oxide paste can also be applied to the affected skin. Medicated skin patches: Dermatologists and other qualified healthcare providers may prescribe medicated patches that contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, and capsaicin, a chili pepper component, to help desensitize the nerve endings causing itch. These should be applied to affected areas of skin. Oral medications: Certain oral medications can also help stop the urge to scratch, particularly when it happens during sleep. These include prescription antihistamines, which can cause drowsiness, and low doses of anti-anxiety medications. Light therapy: Phototherapy, or light therapy, can also be used in certain situations to address neurodermatitis.

• #36 Skin care in cases of neurodermatitis

  Skin that is prone to neurodermatitis is generally dryer and more sensitive to environmental factors. […] By avoiding irritants and by regularly moisturising the skin, however, the structure of the skin can be improved, making it less prone to dryness and inflammation. […] In mild cases of neurodermatitis it is often enough to moisturise once or twice a day using a regular skin care cream to prevent the symptoms altogether. […] Many patients whose skin is prone to neurodermatitis or who only suffer from a mild form do not necessarily need specialist care products/pharmacy products, explicitly designed for neurodermatitis. […] The tolerability of the product should be dermatologically tested. […] Regular application of moisturiser is one of the most important treatments for children with neurodermatitis.

  Neurodermatitis rarely goes away without treatment, and continued scratching can irritate nerve endings in skin, intensifying both itching and scratching. Over time, chronic scratching causes itchy patches of skin to become dry, leathery and thickened, which is called lichenification. […] When creating a treatment plan for neurodermatitis, its best to work closely with a dermatologist. They will most likely recommend multiple treatment types instead of just one option. Treatments for neurodermatitis are aimed at healing skin and ending the itch-scratch cycle. […] Treatments may include: Steroids: Dermatologists often use corticosteroids to help calm inflammation and itch and soften thickened skin. These are usually potent topical steroids, but if the skin is very thick, your dermatologist may inject a steroid into the patch. Non-steroidal topicals: Topicals such as calcineurin inhibitors and ointments made with salicylic acid can also be used to control itch caused by this skin disease. Occlusive treatments: Wraps that cover the affected area can help control itching and make it harder to scratch. These include applying plastic wrap after putting on topicals or moisturizer. Gauze treated with zinc oxide paste can also be applied to the affected skin. Medicated skin patches: Dermatologists and other qualified healthcare providers may prescribe medicated patches that contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, and capsaicin, a chili pepper component, to help desensitize the nerve endings causing itch. These should be applied to affected areas of skin. Oral medications: Certain oral medications can also help stop the urge to scratch, particularly when it happens during sleep. These include prescription antihistamines, which can cause drowsiness, and low doses of anti-anxiety medications. Light therapy: Phototherapy, or light therapy, can also be used in certain situations to address neurodermatitis.

  Dupilumab (trade name: Dupixent) has been approved since September 2017 for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe neurodermatitis (atopic dermatitis) who are candidates for systemic treatment. […] According to the findings, the dossier contains informative data on the treatment goals that are essential for the patients, the so-called outcomes. They demonstrate clear advantages in symptom alleviation and particularly regarding the quality of life. […] The drug dupilumab is supposed to reduce the inflammation of the skin by inhibiting a proinflammatory mediator. […] As the CHRONOS data show, the treatment results are in favour of dupilumab for numerous aspects of treatment (patient-relevant outcomes). This applies to itching and sleep loss on the one hand, and to health-related quality of life on the other. […] Dupilumab also has a disadvantage regarding side effects: Eye disorders occurred more often than in the control group in the study.

  Another option is systemic immunotherapy, which aims at suppressing the excessive reaction of the immune system. However, it is only considered if topical treatments do not achieve satisfactory and lasting results. The immunosuppressive drug dupilumab (IL-4 receptor blocker) is often used in this case. It is the first biopharmaceutical to be approved for treating moderate to severe atopic eczema in adults and children from the age of twelve and is very effective. […] Specific immunotherapy known as hyposensitisation can also be used to manage the allergies that cause flare-ups in atopic eczema. In addition, the Department of Dermatology offers modular and interdisciplinary patient training for children, teenagers, adults and parents of babies and children affected by the condition.

  […] […] „After many years of waiting, we have recently been able to offer these particularly severely affected patients an antibody treatment that intervenes specifically in the inflammatory cascade of neurodermatitis,” says Dr. Mller. […] Not only do the severity and extent of the eczema decrease, the active ingredient also relieves the tormenting itching. „About every third patient is free or almost free of symptoms after three months,” the senior physician summarizes the results. […] The antibody dupilumab is injected into the thigh or abdomen regularly every two weeks, comparable to injecting insulin. „After instruction, our patients can do this independently at home,” explains Dr. Mller. […] […] […] „Another positive aspect is that as symptoms improve, existing anxiety or depression decreases. As a result, the quality of life of our patients also improves,” the dermatologist Dr. Mller observes. In a neurodermatitis outbreak, the body releases more of the inflammatory substance interleukin-4. The newly developed monoclonal antibody dupilumab captures the inflammatory substance and neutralizes it. Thus, excessive inflammatory reactions are reduced or even prevented altogether. „The effect of the medicine is very good, with simultaneously low side-effects,” Dr. Mller elucidates.
