Background:
In 2023 and 2024, the American Academy of Dermatology published guidelines on the use of topical and systemic therapies for the management of atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults. Since the publication of these guidelines, several novel therapies have emerged to treat AD.
Objective:
To update previous guidelines on the management of AD in adults by providing evidence-based recommendations on the use of additional Food and Drug Administration-approved topical and systemic therapies.
Methods:
A multidisciplinary workgroup conducted a systematic review and applied the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach for assessing the certainty of evidence and formulating and grading recommendations.
Results:
The workgroup developed 4 new recommendations for the management of AD in adults.
Limitations:
This analysis is based on the best available evidence at the time it was conducted. Most randomized controlled trials of the considered therapies for AD are of short duration, limiting comparative long-term efficacy and safety conclusions.
Conclusions:
The workgroup developed strong recommendations for the use of tapinarof cream, roflumilast cream, lebrikizumab, and nemolizumab with concomitant topical therapy.

An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
