    For some people cyclosporin is the only thing that works for their eczema.  If that is the case for you then the options are limited, and as you say the effectiveness commonly decreases over time.  This is a specialist treament and you will be under the care of a dermatologist.  You should discuss options to enhance the treatment with your dermatolgist.
