Mona Shahriari, MD: I was very privileged to speak today on the psychosocial burden of atopic dermatitis. A lot of times, as clinicians, we focus on objective skin scores—achieving a certain EASI score or an IGA score—but the reality is, the skin doesn’t always tell the whole story. This disease has a multidimensional burden that goes far beyond what we can see or what the patient can see. That hidden burden is something we have to keep in mind every time we care for someone with AD.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic skin conditions, affecting millions of all ages.

"The bottom line is, topical therapy is still a cornerstone in treating atopic dermatitis, whether we're treating mild, moderate or severe disease," Mona Shahriari, MD, emphasized during a recent interview with Patient Care.® Even when one of her patients is on a systemic biologic therapy, she still prescribes a topical as "touch-up paint," to be used as needed during a flare. And flares are inevitable, so it's best to make sure a patient is prepared.
