Eczema / Atopic Dermatitis

• Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic itchy
  inflammatory skin disorder that affects about 10
  of children to some extent. Many children with AD
  develop other symptoms of atopy such as food
  allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis
  (hayfever). When inhaled or ingested allergens
  enter the bloodstream they can be carried to the
  skin, where they induce a chronic inflammation --
  know as atopic dermatitis in sensitized
  (atopic) individuals who possess T cells and IgE
  specific for an allergen. Allergens that act by
  direct skin contact can also incite inflammation.
  The immunologic response of the skin to antigen
  is complex, resulting in inflammation and
  localized tissue destruction. This chronic
  inflammation is called eczema and is the most
  prominent symptom of atopic dermatitis.
• DiagnosisHistory in infancy, clinical findings
  (typical distribution sites, morphology of
  lesions, while dermatographism).
