Prof Jean-David Bouaziz describes the multifaceted burden of atopic dermatitis, beyond what can be seen on the skin, at EADV 2025.
This page presents educational material, infographics, and video highlights from our recent ADVENT symposia, including the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation and atopic dermatitis, the burden of disease leading to cumulative life course impairment (CLCI), and the risk of the atopic march in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.
Professors Bouaziz, Paller, and Irvine discuss the clinical burden of atopic dermatitis, the biomarkers of subclinical control, and evidence of potential disease modification in AD at EADV 2025.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Thomas Bieber discusses emerging evidence that therapy-free disease control may be possible in atopic dermatitis, citing pediatric dupilumab data showing that a subset of patients-maintained remission after treatment discontinuation.
Join Professors Jean-David Bouaziz, Amy Paller, and Alan Irvine for a dynamic presentation on the multifaceted burden of atopic dermatitis, the evolving concept of disease modification, and how targeted systemic therapies may help improve long-term patient outcomes.
Dr Sarina Elmariah highlights the clinical challenges in diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases, using prurigo nodularis as a case study. Drs Culton, Eichenfield, and Hawkes then join in to discuss additional challenges and complexities when diagnosing other skin diseases.

Watch this short video to learn how type 2 inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and neurosensitization contribute to chronic itch and the itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Amy Paller reviews a Japanese study showing that early proactive treatment of infant atopic dermatitis with topical corticosteroids reduced the incidence of food allergy but was also associated with decreased gains in height and weight.
The underlying pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is driven by dysregulation of type 2 immunity that contributes to skin barrier dysfunction. AD typically develops very early in life and children with AD often develop other atopic conditions such as food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in a progression called the atopic march. Early treatment may help reduce the atopic march and other comorbidities to lessen the lifetime burden created by these diseases. There may even be a window of opportunity for disease modification.

This full video presentation of the April 2025 WCPD symposium features Dr Amy Paller, Dr Paula Luna, and Dr Eulàlia Baselga. The faculty present the latest data on the possibility of achieving disease modification in infants and children with atopic dermatitis.

Join Christine Bangert, Mark Boguniewicz and Perla Lansang for an educational symposium on atopic dermatitis (AD) in children, exploring the diagnosis and pathophysiology of AD in children, the life-long effects of uncontrolled disease beyond the skin, and current and emerging therapies.
