Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, non-contagious form of eczema that can flare up over time.

It may cause dryness, itching, redness or other colour changes depending on skin tone, and cracks.

Regular moisturising and avoiding personal irritant triggers are central to skin care.

A clinician may recommend topical medicines, light therapy or systemic treatment according to disease severity.

Rapid worsening, pain, oozing or fever can suggest infection and require prompt medical assessment.
