GRAND CAYMAN – What simple prophylactic measures can you recommend to parents of children at risk of atopic dermatitis? In an interview at this year’s Caribbean Dermatology Symposium, Dr. Albert C. Yan, section chief of dermatology at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and professor of pediatrics and dermatology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, discusses the evidence indicating that early use of moisturizers reduces the risk of atopic dermatitis in children at risk.
