Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multi-system inflammatory skin disorder with early onset in the skin. It is well known that Black and Hispanic children in the United States experience specific barriers in regards to accessing care for AD, including greater severity on presentation and more need for care including increased usage of emergency services. Understanding these social determinants is vital if social change is to be made and if policies are to be constructed to create enduring reductions in disparity in a meaningful way that can potentially level disease severity and access to care for all segments of the family.
