Managing atopic dermatitis
While atopic dermatitis can have a significant effect on your life, we believe it shouldn’t rule it. Here, we'll discuss some of the things that can make living with AD challenging, whether you have AD yourself or whether you're caring for a child with AD. Then we'll show you ways to help manage these factors. We'll dive into the many treatments for AD and you can also find our useful tools and guides that aim to help you feel better prepared for conversations with a dermatologist.
Is your atopic dermatitis under control?
We know that control isn't just about the symptoms you feel and signs you see, it's also about how AD is impacting your quality of life.
The Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool is a short scientifically validated questionnaire that will give you and your dermatologist a good idea of your control level. Give the 6 questions a go and take your result to a dermatologist.
