ReviewGuidelines for the Management of Atopic Dermatitis in Singapore.
Atopic dermatitis is a common, chronic pruritic condition affecting both children and adults, which has a negative impact on the quality of life. These guidelines were developed by an expert workgroup appointed by the Dermatological Society of Singapore, to provide doctors with information to assist in the management of their patients with atopic dermatitis. The workgroup members are experienced dermatologists with interest and expertise in eczemas. ⋯ Good outcomes can be achieved with an individualised therapeutic approach combined with adequate patient and parental education.
