Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects a large number of pediatric patients between 2 and 17 years of age. Typical symptoms include intense itching, erythema, and scaling of the skin. Atopic dermatitis has been found to be associated with decreased quality of life for patients and their families. Diagnosis is made by clinical evaluation and differential diagnosis with other dermatologic diseases. Treatment is based on the severity of the disease and the age of the patient. Topical treatments are the first line of treatment, while systemic treatments are reserved for patients with severe atopic dermatitis who do not respond to topical treatments. In addition, other treatments, such as light therapy, biological therapy and allergen-specific immunotherapy, have been evaluated in patients with atopic dermatitis. A multidisciplinary approach and appropriate patient and family education are critical to the successful management of atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients.
