Mole-atopic dermatitis relationship reversed in children
Los Angeles - Among 3-year-olds, children with atopic dermatitis have significantly more melanocytic nevi than their unaffected counterparts, and the difference in nevi count overall can be accounted for by higher numbers of nevi present in light-skinned children with eczema, Robert Dellavalle, M.D., Ph.D., said at the annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology.
The FDA approval, based on 36-week data from the phase 3 BRAVE-AA-PEDS trial, extends baricitinib access to patients as young as 12 years old with severe alopecia areata.
