抄録

It is difficult to treat the facial symptoms of adult patients with atopic dermatitis, and both patients and dermatologists tend to think that cosmetic behavior aggravates the skin symptoms. However, daily life without makeup sometimes deteriorates the patient’s quality of life. From the experience of treating many patients with atopic dermatitis, we believe that basic makeup for moisturizing and light shielding to protect from the outside air is rather useful for stabilizing skin symptoms and deserves treatment.
