Atopic Dermatitis - Seborrheic

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that can cause dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Seborrheic dermatitis, a related form, mainly affects oily areas like the scalp and face, leading to red, flaky patches. In the context of atopic dermatitis, individuals may experience both conditions simultaneously, resulting in more severe irritation and discomfort. This overlapping can occur due to factors like skin barrier dysfunction and immune responses. Treatment often involves moisturizing, anti-inflammatory medications, and sometimes antifungal treatments to manage symptoms effectively and improve skin health.
