Overview
Atopic dermatitis is far more than skin deep. In this one-hour masterclass, Dr Li-Chuen Wong will explore the broader burden of disease – covering the psychosocial, mental health, financial, and quality-of-life impacts of AD across both adult and paediatric populations. She’ll also unpack current assessment and scoring tools, offering a practical overview of how to evaluate disease severity and impact.
The session will finish with a look at what’s new in medical therapies, including emerging topicals, orals, and the evolving concept of disease modification.
Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of AD beyond the prescription pad.
