Atopic dermatitis: Timely access is needed now

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:45:37 GMT

Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) is not just an itch and may not just go away on its own.It is neither a small rash nor just some dry skin, and it doesn’t only impact children.The fact of the matter is that one in three pediatric AD patients have moderate-to-severe disease. Not all will outgrow their AD; those that don’t face a lifetime of disruptive symptoms. A lifetime of intense itching, redness, inflammation and discomfort can have a profound impact on an individual’s physical and emotional well-being.Misunderstandings about the complex nature of the condition means that AD is often managed with less-than-optimal outcomes.

Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston will answer fans’ questions throughout the Ravens season. Coming off Baltimore’s 37-3 win in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, plenty of questions remain heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.Here’s Preston’s take:(Editor’s note: Questions have been edited for length and clarity.)In the offseason, you called for the Ravens to part ways with Lamar Jackson and take a long look at coach Harbaugh. Going into the Seattle game, you picked the Seahawks to win. You seem to consistently rate the Ravens as no better than one of the better-to-average teams.
