Deskripsi
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common skin conditions encountered by dermatologists. Skin of color (SOC) patients, in particular, are 50% more likely to visit a dermatologist for AD than non-SOC patients. While the misdiagnosis of AD in SOC patients is rare, the misinterpretation of severity or undertreatment of disease experienced by this patient population is a common occurrence. Herein, we present this Art of Prevention piece focused on the epidemiology, presentation, treatment, and management of AD in skin of color patients.
