Abstract
Atopic eczema is among the fifty most burdensome diseases worldwide. Effective care requires diligent self-management. The cornerstone of treatment is regular and consistent use of topical emollients and use of topical corticosteroids (TCS) as required. Treatment failure is common and wastage of prescribed preparations is high. Primary care consultations can be unsatisfactory for patients and practitioners
