How Do I Connect With Other People Living With Atopic Dermatitis?

Navigating a life with atopic dermatitis can feel very lonely. The visibility of living with a skin condition can be stigmatizing and create isolating experiences. Let alone living with a condition that most people believe is "just skin deep." Atopic dermatitis is much more and affects individuals living with it physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and financially.
