This arm is standard of care instruction given to parents/caregivers of children with atopic dermatitis by the dermatologist and/or dermatology resident during a patient visit.

Following the usual standard of care instruction by physician/resident (which both the treatment group and the non-treatment group will receive); the dermatology nurse will give enhanced instruction about skin care and medications to the caregivers/parents who were randomized to the treatment group.

The dermatology nurse will give additional verbal and written instruction utilizing "teach-back" about skin care precautions and medication usage to the caregivers/parents in the "treatment" group.

The Eczema Area and Severity Index is used to document extent and severity of atopic dermatitis on child's skin at the beginning of the study and again at the follow-up visit. The purpose is to determine improvement or lack of improvement following teaching intervention by nurses in the dermatology clinic.

A 27 item written questionnaire will be given to the parent/caregiver at visit 2. This questionnaire tests the retention of information given at visit 1 to subjects in both arms of the study (treatment and control group).
