Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition associated with a significant disease burden in Korea. AD is highly prevalent among Korean children, adolescents, and adults, and can cause physical discomfort, psychological distress, and social isolation for those affected. Despite advances in our understanding of AD, there are still many unmet needs in diagnosing and managing the disease in Korea. One of the challenges in diagnosing AD is the lack of a definitive biomarker for AD in Korea, and there is a need for more effective, safe, and cost-effective treatments for AD. Therefore, finding out the current epidemiology, burden of AD, and how AD is currently being diagnosed in Korea and reviewing management options available in Korea will help resolve the unmet needs of AD patients in Korea. Addressing these and other unmet needs in AD management and diagnosis in Korea may improve outcomes for those affected by this challenging condition.
