Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disorder. It affects up to 15% of the childhood population in the United States and more than half of these patients into adulthood. A clinical diagnosis is made based on the superficial, inflammatory, erythematous and puritic eruptions. Control of symptoms involves patient and parent education with regard to skin care and avoidance of triggers. Treatment includes corticosteroids, with newer strategies emerging.
