This condition is not rare. Many cases ranging from mild to severe have been reported in both adults and children. One survey of atopic dermatitis patients treated with topical corticosteroids in Japan estimated that approximately 12% of adult patients may appear to be uncontrolled cases, although they are in fact addicted to a topical corticosteroid (TCS). According to a study examining the prevalence and disease burden of atopic dermatitis, 16.5 million adults in the United States have a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis.
