Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA, CPEL; Andrew Alexis, MD, MPH; April W. Armstrong, MD, MPH; Andrew M. Mastro, MS, PA-C; and Mark Makhinson, PharmD, discuss how atopic dermatitis is an immune-mediated disease with heterogeneous pathways that present differently across skin tones, requiring health care professionals to recognize diverse clinical manifestations, address educational gaps in understanding the complex immunopathogenesis, and ensure equitable access to targeted biologic therapies through improved training, clinical trial representation, and coordinated care teams.
