< 0.05). Among 38 SOC patients with AD, lichenoid (31.6%), pityriasis alba (29.0%), prurigo nodularis (26.3%), and classic AD (13.2%) were the most frequent variants. Erythema was often subtle or absent. Dermatologic conditions and AD morphology differ between SOC and white children, highlighting the need for tailored diagnostic approaches and equitable care.
