Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition in which allergic mechanisms cause ongoing inflammation of the skin. It causes severe itching and recurring eczema, and the skin can become thick and rough (lichenification). It tends to occur when a person with a genetic predisposition is exposed to allergy triggers, and symptoms can worsen with spring pollen, house dust mites, and fine particulate matter. If symptoms persist, please consult an allergist or a dermatologist.
