Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a type of eczema that can vary in appearance for many reasons including level of severity, affected part of the body and, notably, skin tone. To see photos of eczema, select skin tone(s) on the gradient and body part(s). Photo descriptions can be interpreted using the glossary. Photos are used with permission and will continue to be added to the tool over time.
The Atopic Dermatitis Visual Guide is not a diagnostic tool and is not a comprehensive reference for the appearance of AD. The Atopic Dermatitis Visual Guide was funded in part by an educational grant from Sanofi and Regeneron, as well as the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
