Review on Atopic Dermatitis

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is becoming a major public health problem due to its increasing prevalence and growing evidence that it may cause other allergic reactions. Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease, with typical recurrent eczema lesions. This can be frustrating for children's patients, parents and healthcare providers. Pediatrics treats most children with atopic dermatitis because many patients do not have access to pediatric subspecialty physicians such as pediatric dermatologists and pediatric allergic doctors.
