Many patients with atopic dermatitis seek care from both primary care physicians and dermatologists. However, little is known regarding topical corticosteroid prescribing patterns among these specialties. We sought to determine if differences exist in topical corticosteroid prescribing patterns among dermatologists, family medicine physicians, and internal medicine physicians. We conducted a population-based, cross-sectional analysis using data from the U.S. National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey from 2006 to 2016. Compared to dermatologists, internal medicine physicians were 22 times less likely to prescribe a topical corticosteroid for atopic dermatitis (52.2% versus 5.1%,  p  = .001; adjusted OR 0.045, 95%CI 0.007–0.277). There was not a statistically significant difference in the rate of topical corticosteroid prescriptions for atopic dermatitis between family medicine physicians and dermatologists (39.1% vs. 52.2%,  p  = .27; adjusted OR 0.468, 95%CI 0.174–1.257). Family medicine physicians had a higher rate of prescribing topical corticosteroids for atopic dermatitis than internal medicine physicians (39.1% vs. 5.1%,  p  = .002). Severity of atopic dermatitis was not assessed. Atopic dermatitis patients seen by internal medicine physicians are much less likely to receive topical corticosteroid prescriptions as compared to those seen by dermatologists.
