Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory dermatosis characterized by epidermal barrier dysfunction, type 2–skewed immune activation, and intense pruritus with eczematous lesions. Disease expression varies by age and severity, with recurrent flares and a well-established association with atopic comorbidities including asthma, allergic rhinitis, and food allergy.

This hub gathers the evidence, expert perspective, and practical insight shaping how atopic dermatitis is understood and treated today, connecting emerging therapies with the everyday decisions that define long-term care.
