Abstract:
Adherence to prescribed medication regimens is crucial for treatment efficacy and patient safety, but it remains a challenge in the medical field, particularly in dermatology, where adherence to prescribed treatments is being intensively evaluated and improved. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of adherence behaviors in dermatological diseases, including fungal skin infections, psoriasis, acne, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria, aiming to update scientific information on adherence patterns and management strategies in these highly prevalent conditions. Furthermore, the importance of a holistic approach that integrates patient-centered and physician-centered strategies to optimize treatment outcomes and enhance adherence in dermatological care is highlighted. The role of technological advancements in promoting adherence is also discussed, with an emphasis on the potential for digital solutions to facilitate medication management. Future perspectives underscore the need for targeted interventions to address the multifaceted barriers to adherence, including treatment complexity, healthcare accessibility, and patient-provider communication. By addressing these challenges, healthcare providers can enhance patient satisfaction, improve therapeutic outcomes, and mitigate the adverse consequences of non-adherence in dermatological practice.
