Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a long-lasting skin condition causing itchy, red, and dry patches. It often starts in childhood and can continue into adulthood with occasional flare-ups.

Atopic dermatitis is caused by genetic, immune, and environmental factors that disrupt the skin barrier. Common triggers include allergens like pollen, pet dander, certain foods, and environmental factors like dry or cold weather.

Managing atopic dermatitis includes moisturizing, avoiding triggers, and using prescribed medications to reduce inflammation and itching. Though there's no cure, following a good skincare routine and seeking a doctor’s advice can help control symptoms and provide relief.
