Emerging Science and Management of Atopic Dermatitis, Introduction
The landscape of atopic dermatitis has evolved rapidly in recent years. The introduction of crisaborole, a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, enables clinicians to offer another nonsteroidal topical therapy to patients with mild to moderate disease.
