“The book is intended for dermatologists managing patients with atopic dermatitis. It aims to educate clinicians on the best treatment approaches based on sound clinical studies. The audience is dermatologists. … This is an excellent reference on how to treat atopic dermatitis. The scientific mechanisms of action are clearly explained and provide a logical basis for designing a treatment plan for these patients.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
