Atopic dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by red, itchy patches of skin. Although the exact cause is unknown, it is believed to be genetic and environmental factors that trigger flares. Diagnosis is based on a physical examination and medical history. Treatment involves topical steroids, antihistamines, moisturizers, and other medications. Regularly monitoring symptoms and triggers are key to managing the condition effectively.
