Dermatology
Atopic dermatitis (or eczema) affects millions (approximately one in five people) during their lifetime. If you have a chronic inflammatory skin condition you can experience discolouration and itchy rashes that come and go throughout your life.
Patients experience periodic flares that create an ongoing cycle requiring careful management. Children's symptoms usually start early but improve with age. Adult patients typically develop patches in areas where friction or sweat occurs.
This article explains what atopic dermatitis is, its mechanisms, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options and ways to manage flare-ups.
