Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the common chronic inflammatory skin diseases worldwide, with pruritus as a primary lesion. Although AD is most often diagnosed in childhood, many adults experience the disease even after the age of 18. AD is associated with multiple triggers and mechanisms; thus, the treatment of AD is complex, and many drugs and therapeutic targets are given. The main current strategies to treating AD are daily skincare used to moisturize and improve the cutaneous barrier dysfunction and medical treatments taken to control the itching and inflammation. However, it is hard to keep AD patients in remission. Recently systemic treatments, such as Janus kinase inhibitors and interleukin receptor inhibitors, have proven efficacious in AD. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances in the diagnosis and treatment of AD, with particular interest on the use of innovative techniques and technologies in interventional therapies. Therefore, researchers in the field of AD are encouraged to submit their findings as original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.
