What is atopic dermatitis (AD)?
It is a disease in which genetic factors lead to immunological abnormalities that translate into the phenotype, or clinical picture. However, AD is a condition that is also modified by environmental factors that affect its course and can lead to exacerbations. The lesions we can observe in patients vary in severity. In their characteristic image, they are located in the elbow and knee flexures, sometimes affecting the face or other areas. They are usually accompanied by severe pruritus, which significantly impairs patients' quality of life, causing insomnia, among other things.
How can patients with AD be helped?
