Atopic dermatitis awareness project launched in Italy

The 'Diari atipici della dermatite atopica' project has been launched to raise awareness about atopic dermatitis. Promoted by the pharmaceutical company Almirall in collaboration with the National Atopic Dermatitis Association (Andea), the initiative aims to support the approximately 3 million Italians living with the condition.

Recognizing that atopic dermatitis is a complex systemic condition rather than just a skin issue, the project addresses the significant impact the disease has on quality of life, including sleep disturbances, social stigma, and emotional well-being. It often coexists with other conditions such as asthma, food allergies, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis.

The project utilizes a digital format, featuring video Q&A sessions on social media where young patients can submit questions regarding symptoms, nutrition, and the social challenges of the disease.
