Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis

Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis, commonly known as childhood eczema, is a prevalent skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin in young children. It often appears on the face, inside the elbows, or behind the knees. Although the exact cause is unknown, it is linked to genetic factors, allergies, and an overactive immune response. Trigger factors like irritants, allergens, and weather changes can worsen symptoms. While there is no cure, treatments such as moisturizers, topical steroids, and lifestyle adjustments can help manage symptoms and improve the child's quality of life. Regular dermatological care is essential.
