Many AD treatment goals focus on clinical manifestations, so that if a patient is free of lesions, their disease is considered well controlled. However, the inflammatory process underlying AD reaches far beyond the skin, affecting patients in unique ways at different stages of their lives. Education on the importance of treating AD beyond the skin and altering the treatment approach to fit the individual patient will help improve clinical management and reduce long-term patient burden.
