Atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema is a chronic itchy condition that can affect both children and adults. As a pediatric dermatologist in Kochi, I see many cases of atopic dermatitis of varying severity. Not only is the eczema problematic for children, but parents also suffer seeing the child scratch and have sleepless nights.
Atopic eczema often starts in early childhood and resolves around puberty. As a dermatologist in Kochi, I also see a lot of atopic eczema cases having a second spike in adulthood. The itching can be generalised through out the body or can be localised to certain areas only,
There have been many new promising treatments for atopic dermatitis but only few are available in India. The latest treatment for atopic eczema - Abrocitinib has come to India and is now available in Kochi.
Abrocitinib specifically targets the chemicals involved in atopic dermatitis. This targeted therapy has less side effects compared to conventional immunosuppressants. Few side effects reported with Abrocitinib include nausea, upper respiratory infections, headache and acne.
Though abrocitinib treatment in India is very expensive, it has the promise of good treatment outcomes with minimal side effect.
