Abstract
The diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis are often challenging due to the complexity of its etiopathogenesis and the variety of presentation. Atopic dermatitis is one of the very prevalent dermatoses in which drug therapy alone will not suffice. However, it also requires a logical modification of the patient’s dayto-day activities and his microenvironment. For this, the patient has to understand the disease very well, and knowledge regarding the disease, conditions the patient, for the prolonged treatment course. Various nonpharmacological interventions play an important role in achieving this.
