Atopic eczema is a common skin disorder affecting at least 2-3% of the western population. Atopic eczema cannot be cured and therefore treatment aims to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Today, many different medical treatments are available: from mild hormone creams to harsh systemic treatments. The treatment chosen depends in part on the severity of the eczema and on the treatment response of the individual. This practice may mean that some people with eczema undergo unnecessary treatment courses with associated side effects. We know today that eczema has a hereditary component, and different areas have been identified in the hereditary material that appear to play a role. Although it is thought that variations in specific areas of the inheritance material may influence how eczema is expressed in the individual, the significance of these variations is far from clarified. The investigators want to increase the knowledge about atopic eczema, about the disease and how in the future we can organize the treatment of eczema based on knowledge of our genetic material. In this study, the investigators want to elucidate whether there is a correlation between specific variations in the genetic material and how the eczema is clinically expressed. In addition, the investigators want to assess whether reports with specific information about the individual's genetic material in relation to his or her lifestyle can help retain participants in research projects.

| Change in AD phenotype measured on a weekly basis for 12 weeks using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) evaluated remotely through photos by investigator assessment. | EASI measures the severity and body surface area of eczema on a scale from 0-72. | 12 weeks |
| Change in AD phenotype measured on a weekly basis for 12 weeks using the The Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD)) evaluated remotely through photos by investigator assessment. | vIGA-AD measures the severity of eczema on a scale from 0-4. | 12 weeks |
| Change in AD phenotype measured on a weekly basis for 12 weeks using the Patient Oriented Eczema Measurement (POEM) questionnaire. | POEM measures the severity of eczema as experienced by the patient on a scale from 0-28. | 12 weeks |
| Change in AD phenotype measured on a weekly basis for 12 weeks using the Skindex-mini questionnaire. | Skindex-mini measures the symptomatic, emotional and functional aspects of an individual's skin disorder on a scale from 0-18. |

Recruitment is performed through the Studies&Me platform (https://studiesandme.com/), which is recruiting and screening people with AD, who are generally interested in participating in a study related to their disease.
Participants will also be recruited through clinics and hospitals.
