Atopic dermatitis can affect people of all skin colors, races, and ethnicities. It may even
present differently depending on skin tone and location on the body.

While this is not a diagnostic tool, you can explore the Atopic Dermatitis Skin Gallery below
to visualize varying clinical appearances of moderate-to-severe disease in your patients.


These images feature real atopic dermatitis patients who are not taking DUPIXENT and did not participate in DUPIXENT clinical trials.
Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis may look different on your patients' skin and may appear on other areas of the body.

aData from a study of adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis with chronic disease for ≥3 years (n=380).7

bTelephone interviews conducted in 2004 included 779 caregivers of children aged 2 to 13 years, 125 adolescents aged 14 to 17 years, and 1098 adults with moderate-
to-severe atopic dermatitis from 8 countries (including the United States). Caregivers of patients aged 2 to 13 years reported 122 days per year with flares and 9 flares
per year with each lasting an average of 14 days. Patients aged 14 to 17 years reported 116 days per year with flares, and 8 flares per year with each lasting an
average of 15 days. Adults reported 146 days per year with flares and 10 flares per year with each lasting an average of 15 days.8
