The treatment of atopic dermatitis is based on the use of topical steroids and emollients. When AD is resistant to a well-conducted topical treatment, phototherapy or systemic therapeutics can be used: ciclosporin, methotrexate, azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil. However, the therapeutic landscape of AD is changing dramatically because of the approval of dupilumab (an anti-IL4/IL13 biologic therapy) and the possible future arrival of other biologicals (anti-IL13, anti-IL31…), and JAK inhibitors. © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS.
