Eczema – clinical subtypes Irritant contact dermatitis Allergic contact dermatitis Atopic Discoid Seborrhoeic Venous Pompholyx Asteatotic Follicular/papular Exogenous Endogenous
Slide 9-

Atopic dermatitis Chronic relapsing skin disorder (prevalence 20%) Onset <5 years in 80% 40-60% remain symptomatic as adult 85% ↑ IgE, 80% associated with asthma/allergy Family Hx of atopy
Slide 10-

Pathogenesis of AD Interaction of skin barrier, genetic, environmental, pharmacologic, and immunologic factors Release of vasoactive substances from mast cells and basophils, that have been sentitized by the interaction of the antigen with IgE.
Slide 11-

Exacerbating factors Inhalants (dust mites, pollens) Infections Autoallergens (IgE) Foods (eggs, milk, peanuts, soy-beans, fish, wheat) Contact irritants (wools) Season (improves in summer, flares in winter) Emotional stress

Treatment
Slide 58-

Aim To get the eczema under control Keep the eczema under control
Slide 59-

Basic stuff Avoid provoking factors (wool, bubble baths, soaps, perfumes) Avoid dryness: Bath oils (Oilatum, Hydromol, Aveeno, Dermol) Soap substitutes (Aqueous cream, Dermol) Emollients (500g in 2 weeks) Treat any infection Antihistamines Reduce inflammation
Slide 60-

ppt slide no 60 content not found
Slide 61-

Reduce inflammation Topical steroids Topical immunomodulators Oral prednisolone Oral immunosuppressives Phototherapy
Slide 62-

ppt slide no 62 content not found
Slide 63-

Topical steroids Ointments better than creams Learn 3 topical steroids I) Hydrocortisone ii) Eumovate iii) Betnovate/Elocon
Slide 64-

Common topical steroid myths Can’t apply to infected or broken skin Can’t use topical steroids for more than 1 week non stop Hydrocortisone topically can thin the skin Cannot use potent topical steroids on the face
Slide 65-

To get the eczema under control Apply steroid daily until skin is back to normal Then stop or wean down Continue emollients
Slide 66-

To keep the eczema under control Apply topical steroid immediately the eczema flares Consider maintenance Rx (eg Protopic) Eumovate >30g per month- baby- refer Betnovate>60g per month –child-refer
Slide 67-

Tacrolimus ointment Inhibits T cell activation & suppresses cytokine gene transcription Inhibits IgE-induced histamine release from mast cells and basophils Down-regulates high affinity IgE receptor on Langerhans cells
Slide 68-

Important instructions to patients Burning/stinging sensation following application which will spontaneously resolve Avoid application after a hot bath or shower Recommend adequate application of tacrolimus ointment, it is NOT a topical steroid Care in sun - long term immunosuppression???
Slide 69-

Particular indications for topical tacrolimus ointment Peri-ocular involvement Flexural involvement Facial involvement Requirement for maintenance treatment with moderately potent or potent topical steroids Presence of topical steroid-induced cutaneous atrophy or striae Pigmented skin
Slide 70-

Not winning? Compliance? Infected? Contact dermatitis Difficult eczema?
Slide 71-

Dressings & bandaging Dressings Wet wraps Comfifast, tubifast, dermasilk garments Over emollient / weak steroids Quality Nursing Care
Slide 72-

Phototherapy UVB/TLO1 Psoralen + UVA = PUVA Methoxypsoralen Topical or systemic Whole body or regional
Slide 73-

Systemic treatments Short courses prednisolone Ciclosporin Azathioprine Methotrexate Mycophenolate mofetil

Slide 78-

Take home messages Bath oils, soap substitutes and emollients - all stages/severity of eczema Use the most appropriate strength of steroid for the severity and site Steroids can be used for longer than a week – arrange follow-up to review and step down when skin improved Check compliance – ask how long a tube of steroid/pot of emollient lasts Prompt treatment of coexistent infection Assess severity by asking about sleep/school disturbance, weight/height gain (red book), mood, family dynamics
