Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that can affect individuals from infancy to adulthood. Also referred to as "the itch that rashes", atopic dermatitis is classically associated with significant pruritus that is accompanied by characteristic cutaneous and other clinical findings.
