Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema, is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease affecting 10.2% of adults in the United States.1 Some patients with AD use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for the adjuvant treatment of their disease.2 Although many studies have demonstrated a promising role of certain CAM modalities in the management of AD, others have shown limited efficacy and negative side effects of various CAM therapies.3 Given the inconclusive evidence for the efficacy of various CAM therapies, it is important to determine the extent of CAM use among adults with AD. This study aims to describe CAM use among adults with eczema and to compare CAM use in adults with and without eczema.
