Atopic Dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes red, itchy, and inflamed patches on the skin. It often begins in childhood but can occur at any age. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. People with atopic dermatitis may have a family history of allergies or asthma. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may include dry skin, intense itching, and rashes that can become infected. Treatment typically involves moisturizing the skin, using topical corticosteroids, and avoiding triggers that can worsen the condition.
