Heidi
Age 55
Has lived with moderate-to-severe
atopic
dermatitis since 2 years of age
Finding it hard to hide her skin
My atopic dermatitis only
covers a few
parts of my
body—unfortunately, it is
always my hands, wrists,
ankles, and neck.

- Her affected areas are minimal but very visible
- Has to explain to the parents and children at day care that her condition is not contagious
Treatment and goals
