Atopic dermatitis in adolescents with skin of color

Katlin Poladian et al. Cutis. 2019 Sep.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory dermatosis of childhood that typically improves during adolescence but can be lifelong. Black children are at 6-times greater risk for severe AD than white children, and AD may lead to a greater negative impact on quality of life (QOL) in patients with skin of color. For these reasons, it is important for dermatologists to consider the various issues associated with AD that adolescents with skin of color may face. We present management strategies for AD in this patient population.
