Abstract

National prescription data for therapeutic clothing in atopic dermatitis was analysed to investigate the role of therapeutic clothing in atopic dermatitis. Therapeutic clothing is most frequently prescribed by dermatologists in a hospital setting. Most patients only receive one prescription of therapeutic clothing, suggesting a limited role for therapeutic clothing in the long-term management of atopic dermatitis.
