Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease, which often leads to a long term and severe loss of life quality. Very often primary dermatological care cannot offer sufficient relief of complaints. In these cases additional dermatological rehabilitation should be considered, which can improve acute skin damage as well as help develop long term coping mechanisms Inpatient rehab includes: intensive medical treatment, accompanied by avoidance of occupational or private skin harm, better knowledge of triggers, skin care and adequate use of anti-inflammatory treatments, psychological consulting, e.?g. stress factors at work or in family, coping with itching and cosmetic interference, social counseling: social security rules, retraining etc.
