Atopic dermatitis is a familial, chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itching, dry skin, with inflammation and exudation that commonly presents during early infancy and childhood but can persist or start in adulthood.
In infants <2 years of age, signs of inflammation usually develop during the third month of life with the patient commonly presenting with red, scaling, dry areas.
Diagnosis is based on patient history and physical exam.
The goals of therapy are to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, and minimize treatment risks.
