Guideline-based Approach in the Management of Atopic Dermatitis

This is an exciting time in the management of atopic dermatitis due to the development of several biologics, Janus Kinase inhibitors, and new topical therapies. Furthermore, evidence-based guidelines allow provision of individualized patient care. Management includes education on trigger avoidance, appropriate use of topicals to ensure efficacy and avoid side effects while attending to the psychosocial needs and priorities of the patient/caregivers. The synthesis of this information facilitates a balanced discussion of risks, benefits, and alternatives to allow for shared decision-making. Together these options provide an opportunity to improve the quality of life of patients with atopic dermatitis.
