Transforming Atopic Dermatitis Care: The Impact of Early Treatment
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Jan Gutermuth, Head of Dermatology, University Hospital Brussels, Belgium
Moderator: Dr. Klas Agerberg
Prof. Gutermuth explores the concept of Cumulative Life-Course Impairment (CLCI) in atopic dermatitis (AD) and the potential role of early intervention in altering disease progression and preventing cumulative disease burden.
Topics covered:
- The multidimensional disease burden of AD in adult and pediatric patients
- The meaning of CLCI in AD
- Whether early intervention can shape the course of AD and prevent CLCI
- The link between early intervention and disease modification
- The clinical implications of early treatment
Listen & Learn: DermTalks Podcasts
Dive into our podcast series exploring the management of AD in special patient populations.
Managing Atopic Dermatitis During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Speaker: Dr. Klas Agerberg, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden
Topic: Managing AD in specific patient groups, such as pregnant and breastfeeding women, requires a careful benefit-risk balance. Indeed, it’s crucial to approach this population with a ‘safety first’ mindset, prioritizing the well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus, as well as balancing the importance of a well-controlled disease.
In this DermTalks podcast episode, Dr. Klas Agerberg discusses an expert consensus “Systemic anti-inflammatory treatment of atopic dermatitis during conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding: Interdisciplinary expert consensus in Northern Europe” published in 2024 in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology1. This consensus, crafted by leading experts in Northern Europe, offers valuable guidelines for managing AD with systemic anti-inflammatory treatments during conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
Managing Atopic Dermatitis in the Elderly
Speaker: Dr. Stine Simonsen, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark
Topic: AD is a prevalent condition in the elderly, presenting unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its varied presentation and the overall medical condition of the patients.
In this DermTalks podcast episode, Dr. Stine Simonsen, clinical associate professor at the university of Copenhagen and dermatologist at the Copenhagen University Hospitals in Denmark, shares her insights on managing AD in the elderly population.
Managing Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis
Speaker: Dr. Hannah de Laye, UZ Brussel, Belgium
Topic: AD is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects more than 20% of children in industrialized countries2. Children who develop AD have a higher risk of developing other allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and food allergies3. This is why, in the management of pediatric AD, the atopic march and possible food allergies needs to be carefully considered.
In this DermTalks podcast episode, Dr. Hannah de Leye, physician, and dermatologist in training at UZ Brussel, currently working at UZ Leuven in Belgium, shares her insights on the atopic march, food allergies, including IgE testing and restrictive diets, as well as early interventions that may help restore skin barrier function and prevent the progression of atopic diseases.
Managing Atopic Dermatitis in Patients with Comorbidities
Speaker: Dr. Jon Anders Halvorsen, Oslo, Norway
Topic: The presence or risk of comorbidities can significantly impact the management of patients with AD. This is why understanding the comorbidities associated with AD is crucial for effective management.
In this DermTalks podcast episode, Dr. Jon Anders Halvorsen, senior dermatologist and guest researcher at the University of Oslo, Norway, delves into the comorbidities associated with atopic dermatitis.

SKINPULSE PODCAST: Where skin meets science
Type 2 inflammation connects conditions that appear unrelated. Yet the connections are often missed. SKINPULSE exists to change that. Each episode brings together leading clinical experts to explore the systemic drivers behind what you see on the skin — translating complex science into insights that are relevant, accessible, and immediately applicable to your practice.
