Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis: What is it and how will you treat it?

Infant eczema or atopic dermatitis is a skin condition, which occurs with remissions and flare-ups and is characterized by an itchy rash.

These are red dry marks, which cause itching and appear as a reaction of the body to some stimulus. Signs usually appear on the baby's face, but can also appear on the elbows, chest, hands or behind the knees.
