Abstract

Childhood-onset atopic dermatitis (AD) has a profound and lasting psychosocial impact compared with adult-onset AD. This study highlights higher stigmatization scores and greater relational, social and professional challenges in individuals whose AD started in childhood and continued into adulthood, compared with those whose AD started in adulthood, underscoring the need for comprehensive care that addresses both dermatological and psychological aspects of the disease.
