Abstract: This article summarizes the pathophysiology and diagnostic criteria of atopic dermatitis (eczema). Atopic dermatitis is a prevalent skin condition that affects both children and adults around the world. Correct diagnosis and grading of eczema severity are crucial so that patients can appropriately manage their symptoms and decrease disease burden. A decision tree and a mnemonic were also created to guide nurse practitioners on how to assess and treat atopic dermatitis based on current practice guidelines.
