LAS VEGAS– Atopic dermatitis patients may be at increased risk for contact as well, Dr. Joseph Fowler said at Skin Disease Education Foundation’s annual Las Vegas dermatology seminar.

In an interview at the meeting, Dr. Fowler reviewed several emerging allergens, explained how contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis interact, and shared some tips for identifying and managing both conditions when they occur simultaneously.

Dr. Fowler disclosed relationships with multiple pharmaceutical companies, none of which were relevant to the content of this video. SDEF and this news organization are owned by Frontline Medical Communications.
