Learning objectives

  • Recognize characteristics and disease burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN)
  • Describe how AD and PN are distinct diseases, and how some patients may experience both
  • Examine how type 2 inflammation drives pruritus and cutaneous tissue manifestations, thus playing a key role in both AD and PN pathophysiology
