Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic Dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin. It often begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood. The exact cause is not fully understood, but a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors is believed to contribute to its development. Common symptoms include dry skin, intense itching, and the appearance of eczematous lesions, which may lead to scratching and potential complications. Management typically involves moisturizers, topical corticosteroids, and other medications to alleviate symptoms and reduce inflammation.
