Abstract:
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory condition afflicting children and adults. In developing countries like India, the scenario is slightly different from its western counterparts, where the disease has been commonly described. Despite running a milder course, AD still has a significant negative impact on the quality of life. Environmental factors have a great influence on pathogenesis. While the diagnosis has remained clinical, variations in minor clinical features have been observed worldwide. Many indigenous and herbal agents are used for its treatment in India, in addition to conventional therapies. Treatment modalities in India emphasize less costly therapies and family education. This contribution reviews the epidemiologic issues and therapeutic differences in the Indian population with AD, highlighting important nuances in the care of the Indian patient.
