| Popis: | Topical moisturizers are the core treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD), with treatment guidelines recommending at least daily thorough moisturization of both lesional and nonlesional skin. Ultimately, moisturizer selection is an individual, personal choice, but, surprisingly, few moisturizers have published efficacy and acceptability data to support decision making. This clinical feature emphasizes the value of daily moisturization for AD and summarizes the moisturizer types available. Nurse practitioners/physician assistants manage and educate patients and caregivers on optimizing this key aspect of disease management. Nurse practitioner/physician assistant interventions may lead to impressive increases in moisturizer use and reductions in chronic AD severity. |
