What is eczema
(atopic dermatitis)?
Atopic dermatitis, the most common form of eczema, is a chronic (recurring) inflammatory skin condition that affects up to 9.6 million children and 16.5 million adults in the US.
Appearance and symptoms of atopic dermatitis
Eczema affects people of all ages and can appear on other locations on the body as you get older. Symptoms include redness, irritation, and itching. When the skin barrier is compromised, it can lose moisture which weakens the skin’s ability to protect. Uncontrolled itch that increases scratching can disrupt the skin even more and increase the risk of exposure to irritants and infection.
