Overview

monocentric retrospective-prospective observational study evaluating the clinical evolution of common chronic inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, prurigo nodularis, chronic hand eczema, and hidradenitis suppurativa. The study will collect demographic, clinical, therapeutic, and validated clinimetric data from patients aged ≥12 years. Its primary aim is to describe changes in disease severity over time. Secondary objectives include identifying demographic, clinical, and treatment-related predictors of moderate-to-severe disease and unfavorable outcomes. Data will cover a 7-year retrospective period and a 10-year prospective follow-up.
