Introduction Despite the recent expansion of treatment options in atopic dermatitis (AD) (1), most management responsibilities fall on the patient and/or caregivers. Disease control often requires vigilance about and avoidance of common exposures, including environmental triggers, skin care products, topical medications, as well as cleansers and detergents used in the home (2).
