Expert Roundtables Podcast: Dietary Interventions in Pediatric Patients With Atopic Dermatitis

While food allergies can exacerbate symptoms in a subset of patients, routine testing and broadly eliminating suspected foods from a child’s diet are discouraged. Emerging evidence suggests that certain supplements may help. Listen to today’s podcast to learn more about these issues.
