Atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema, is a prevalent inflammatory skin disease characterized by generalized skin dryness, itch, and rash. This condition is particularly common in children, often developing before their first birthday, but it can also emerge for the first time in adults. It is typically a chronic condition, though some children may experience significant improvement or complete resolution as they age.
