Atopic Dermatitis

Follow along on our year-long guide to Atopic Dermatitis, an exploration of the latest recommendations and research on diagnosis, treatment, and management of this common and usually chronic itchy inflammation of the skin. Atopic dermatitis -- a form of eczema -- typically develops in early childhood and is more common in people who have a family history of the condition, but can develop at any age. Each month will delve into another aspect of atopic dermatitis, including signs and symptoms, causes and triggers, genetic factors, related conditions, treatment options, coping strategies, and lessons learned from unique case studies -- all of which have undergone expert review. Every installment will also include a separate, downloadable, printable information resource for patients.
