I notice the plan starts with emollients etcetera before going on to topical steroids.1 I understand this complies with NICE guidelines and has been normal practice since the sixties.
However, I have not been able to find any evidence for their efficacy and it seems that they are more of a tradition than a useful treatment. Would children do just as well by starting treatment on the most appropriate topical steroid?
