Common Skin Conditions

Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an intensely itchy, chronic skin disease commonly first seen in childhood. AD results from an imbalance in the immune system, caused by inherited and environmental influences.  50% of children with AD develop either asthma or allergies. A person with AD can have red, flaky, scratched patches of skin.  The neck, elbows, wrists, and knees are commonly affected.  Preventing flares of AD requires gentle skin care with use of moisturizer.  Although AD cannot be cured, most people see improvement as they get older.  Prescription medicines are used to relieve the symptoms and control outbreaks.
