New Medications for Eczema in the Pipeline

Now that the medical community are becoming more aware of the dangers of steroid rebound, many new and exciting innovations are taking place within the pharmaceutical industry. Targeted medication seems to be the new buzz-word and is generating a lot of interest.

The NEA recently featured an article about a targeted medication that has the potential to change lives. I like the fact that the article actually mentions steroid rebound as a bad side effect of steroid medication.

Wouldn't it be great if these new, targeted medicines became the standard treatment for eczema and steroid creams became a thing of the past? Maybe it's a long way off, but I live in hope. It would be so good if the next generation didn't have to suffer the way that we have from overuse of steroid creams.
