Assessing severity

SCORAD: a Score for AD

 

• Specialized dermatologists and methodologists have

  developed and validated a precise scoring system

  for AD severity, including:

 

      - The spread of eczema (in percentage of body surface)

 

      - The intensity of main eczema signs

 

        (redness, oozing, swelling, scabs, dryness,…)

 

      - The level of pruritus and sleep loss
