   Optimizing Control: Combining Biologics With Non-Systemic Strategies in Atopic Dermatitis

   Drs. Lio and Yosipovitch discuss that while biologic therapy has greatly improved atopic dermatitis control, many patients still struggle with residual itch, sleep disruption, and intermittent flares that impact daily life. They explain how layering proactive topical treatments, over-the-counter skincare, antipruritic measures, and behavioral strategies onto biologics can preempt flares, relieve itch, and significantly improve quality of life.
