IMPACTS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH ATOPIC DERMATITIS: A NARRATIVE REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Goal: To analyze the impacts on the quality of life of pediatric patients affected by atopic dermatitis, relating it to the symptoms and severity of the disease. Literature Review: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex condition that affects the quality of life of children, characterized by symptoms such as intense itching, erythema and skin lesions. In addition to the physical impacts, AD has significant emotional and social repercussions, often associated with other atopic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Children with AD face socio-behavioral challenges, social isolation, anxiety and low self-esteem, due to the appearance of their skin and the need for continuous treatments. Psychological and social support is essential not only for patients but also for their families, who deal with high financial costs and emotional stress when managing the chronic condition. Final considerations: Atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients demands a multidisciplinary approach that considers physical, emotional and social aspects. It is essential to raise awareness about the condition, offer adequate psychological and social support, and develop more accessible and effective treatments to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
