Ellie is a 20-year-old university student who has had atopic dermatitis (AD) since she was an infant. Her AD was considered mild in childhood, with only small areas of skin involvement and intermittent flares that usually spontaneously remitted. She has now come to your clinic to seek care as an adult. She notes that over the past year she has had more flares and that lesions have started to manifest on her face, elbow, and hands, causing her considerable distress. Ellie expresses embarrassment over her appearance and explains that she has always struggled with self-esteem. Because of her AD becoming more visible, she has started avoiding going out with her friends and says she has been emotional and stress eating, causing her to gain about 4 kg over the past 3 months. Although she is still considered a normal weight, she is concerned because obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus run in her family. She reports feeling anxious and depressed. In addition to AD, Ellie's medical history includes asthma and a tree-nut allergy.
