Activity Description

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by pruritus, relapsing eczematous lesions, and epidermal barrier dysfunction, affecting both children and adults worldwide. The condition is associated with significant physical discomfort, psychosocial burden, and an increased risk of secondary skin infections, making timely recognition and effective management essential for healthcare professionals. Advances in understanding the immunologic mechanisms underlying atopic dermatitis have expanded the therapeutic landscape to include targeted biologic and small-molecule therapies in addition to traditional treatments.

This activity provides a comprehensive review of atopic dermatitis, including its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic considerations. This activity also presents an evidence-based approach to managing atopic dermatitis, including trigger avoidance, optimizing skin barrier function, topical therapies, phototherapy, systemic immunosuppressive agents, and newer targeted treatments, such as biologic agents and Janus kinase inhibitors. Adjunctive therapies, considerations for special populations, and strategies for managing refractory disease are also discussed. This activity highlights the importance of interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals in the evaluation and management of atopic dermatitis. A shared understanding of current treatment strategies supports patient-centered care and improves clinical outcomes for individuals with this chronic condition.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the clinical features and age-related presentations of atopic dermatitis.

  • Apply evidence-based diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies for patients with atopic dermatitis based on disease severity, lesion location, and response to prior therapies.

  • Select appropriate treatment options, including topical therapies, systemic agents, and biologic treatments, to reduce disease flares and improve patient outcomes.

  • Collaborate with members of the interprofessional healthcare team to coordinate comprehensive, patient-centered management plans for individuals with atopic dermatitis.
