Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial dermatologic condition involving chronic inflammation of the skin. It is sometimes referred to as eczema, which is a general term used to describe skin that is erythematous, scaling, vesicular, and crusting. AD is common in individuals with the genetic propensity to develop immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated diseases. The associated IgE-mediated diseases include allergic rhinitis, asthma, and food allergies. AD may be the initial condition signaling the progression to further allergic disease, known as the atopic march.[1]
