Panelists discuss how atopic dermatitis severity classification relies on multiple assessment tools including EASI, SCORAD, POEM, and BSA measurements. Special attention is given to sensitive areas (hands, feet, genitals) as they significantly impact quality of life. Disease extent, intensity of symptoms, and functional impairment guide categorization into mild, moderate, or severe cases.
