Atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disorder. It causes dry, itchy, scaly patches on the skin, often on the face and scalp in babies. It’s most common in infants or very young children. Most will show signs of the condition in the first year of life. Symptoms may last until the teens or adulthood. It rarely starts in adulthood. Atopic dermatitis is not contagious. Atopic dermatitis tends to run in families. This suggests a genetic link. It’s also associated with asthma and allergies, which are immune hypersensitivity disorders. Treatment for this condition is aimed at calming the skin inflammation, decreasing the itching, and preventing infections. Good skin care and medicine to control itching and infection are used. Atopic dermatitis is often called eczema. https://www.hanxinclinic.com/index.php/2019/11/17/atopic-dermatitis/
