Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory skin condition, negatively affects sexual health in various ways including causing physical discomfort and changes in physical appearance that can lead to low self-confidence. The chronic and debilitating nature of this disease can interfere with the sexual well-being of patients and their partners. This review describes the ways that AD affects sexual health. In addition, we review the impact that partnered relationships and physical intimacy can have on AD and provide practical recommendations for optimizing sexual health in AD patients.
