An official from the Jeongeup City Public Health Center stated, "Atopic dermatitis is a representative chronic disease that can lower quality of life beyond being a simple skin condition," adding, "In particular, if not properly managed during infancy and early childhood, it can lead to other allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, or conjunctivitis. Therefore, early prevention and systematic management are more important than anything else."
