Abstract
Atopic Dermatitis is an endogenous eczema triggered by exogenous agents and characterized by: Extremely pruritic, recurrent symmetric eczematous lesions. Site of involvement depending on the age of the patient. Personal and family history of allergic rhinitis, asthma, hay fever. Increased ability to form IGE to common environmental allergens (1). Atopic Dermatitis is a common, often persistent skin disease that affects a large percentage of world's population. The term Atopic is from the Greek meaning 'strange'. The word Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin (2).
