Guideline for prevention of disease flares and use of adjunctive therapies

“This guideline addresses the treatment of pediatric and adult atopic dermatitis (AD; atopic eczema) of all severities. The treatment of other forms of eczematous dermatitis is outside the scope of this document.

Recommendations on AD management are subdivided into 4 sections given the significant breadth of the topic, and to update and expand on the clinical information and recommendations previously published in 2004.”

The guideline covers these four topics:

1. Prevention of disease flares
2. Educational interventions
3. Coexisting allergic disease and allergy testing
4. Dietary interventions
