Atopic dermatitis may not be the most glamorous topic in medicine, but you've got an enormous opportunity to change lives for the better in primary care.

It can feel frustrating for both the patients and providers when they keep coming back without getting any better.

I got to chat with a pediatric dermatologist and added a TON of clinical pearls to my arsenal of "real world" NP knowledge which I'm sharing with you in this week's video.

You'll learn:
✅ What treatment ACTUALLY works, especially when they've told you they've "tried everything"
✅ What skincare to recommend, which steroids, and what unconventional treatments can help keep flares at bay
✅ Answers to popular questions these days: who actually need food allergy testing, to bathe or not to bathe, and more.
