Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, pruritic skin inflammation with suspected pathophysiological and psychological mechanisms. These factors are reviewed along with related treatment approaches. Current medical intervention for AD is palliative and only partially effective. Although encouraging, psychological treatment is not well developed and has not been adequately evaluated. It is concluded that multidisciplinary research is needed so that improved understanding and treatment of AD can be achieved.Entities:
