Abstract
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic recurrent disorder typically starting in infancy and early childhood and associated with pruritus and genetic predisposition. Daily use of moisturizers that contain lipids such as ceramides (CER) reduces the rate of AD flares and the need for topical steroid treatment.
