The Enduring Challenge of Atopic Dermatitis Nomenclature: From Hyde to Our Time In 1904, Dr James Nevins HYDE, one of the foremost American dermatologists of his era, published in the Journal of Cutaneous Diseases an editorial titled “The Passing of Eczema.” In it, he lamented the imprecision of dermatologic terminology, declaring that “eczema” had outworn […]

A One Health Lens on Atopic Dermatitis: Integrating Wastewater Data into a Comprehensive Digital Framework—Is There a Role for Zoonotic Streptococci in AD Flares? The publication by Oh et al. in Water Research (2025) [DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2025.124012] marks a transformative contribution to environmental dermatology, offering a predictive surveillance model for atopic dermatitis (AD) that is deeply rooted […]

Reclaiming Treatment Success in Atopic Dermatitis:Patients Matter Most In the evolving landscape of atopic dermatitis (AD) therapeutics, we are witnessing a striking paradox: never have so many therapies been available, yet patient dissatisfaction remains high. Why? Because the metrics guiding clinical trials and regulatory approvals often diverge sharply from what patients truly value. A rigid […]

Different faces, shared targets: the curious convergence of AD, AA, and vitiligo In the evolving landscape of dermatology and clinical immunology, a compelling paradox is emerging: three phenotypically distinct conditions—atopic dermatitis (AD), alopecia areata (AA), and vitiligo—are increasingly found to share overlapping immunological features and respond to similar targeted therapies. Historically, the connections among these […]

Research Trends in Epidemiology and Genetics of Atopic Dermatitis The Rise of Atopic Dermatitis in the Elderly Population Until the early 2000s, atopic dermatitis (AD) was primarily considered a pediatric condition. In older adults, a diagnosis of AD was often dismissed due to its perceived low incidence and frequently misclassified as senile pruritus, pre-bullous pemphigoid, […]
