Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a pruritic inflammatory skin disease that disproportionately affects skin of color patients. African American, Asian, and Hispanic patients carry disproportionate disease burdens, with increased prevalence, disease severity, and health care utilization. AD has a unique clinical presentation in skin of color patients, often with greater extensor involvement, dyspigmentation, and papular and lichenified presentations. Erythema is also more difficult to appreciate and can result in an underappreciation of disease severity in skin of color patients. In this review, we highlight the important manifestations of AD across all skin types, including nuances in treatment.
