Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with an immunologic mechanism that commonly affects children but is increasing in the adult population. The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is primarily based on a thorough clinical evaluation, which includes a detailed medical history and physical examination. The characteristic symptoms of atopic dermatitis include dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, along with a history of recurrent flare-ups. We also need to evaluate the associated comorbidities. The management of atopic dermatitis should be individualized based on the severity and specific needs of each patient. Regular follow-up visits with healthcare providers are important to monitor the response to treatment, adjust the treatment plan as needed, and address any concerns or questions. Ongoing research and advancements in the field continue to shape the management strategies for atopic dermatitis, with a focus on personalized and targeted therapies. This Special Issue is open for submissions of papers that aim to bring together the most relevant scientific research on atopic dermatitis.
