Dry, itchy, and inflammatory skin are symptoms of atopic dermatitis, often known as eczema. It can happen at any age, although it's more common in young children. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic condition that occasionally flares up. It's not contagious, although it can be annoying. Food allergies, hay fever, and asthma are all possible side effects for those with atopic dermatitis. Itching can be reduced and new outbreaks (flares) can be avoided by moisturizing frequently and practicing other skin care routines. Medicated creams or ointments may also be used as a kind of treatment. Atopic dermatitis in certain individuals is linked to a genetic mutation that impacts the skin's protective capacity. Skin that lacks a strong barrier function has trouble retaining moisture and fending off germs, allergies, irritants, and outside influences like tobacco smoke. In some individuals, an excess of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on the skin results in atopic dermatitis. This damages the skin's barrier function and displaces beneficial bacteria.
