Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a condition that causes dry, itchy and inflamed skin. It's common in young children but can occur at any age. Atopic dermatitis is long lasting (chronic) and tends to flare sometimes. It can be irritating but it's not contagious.
Common symptoms
Causes
Dry, cracked skin
Itchiness (pruritus)
Rash on swollen skin that varies in color depending on your skin color
Oozing and crusting
Thickened skin
Darkening of the skin around the eyes
Raw, sensitive skin from scratching
In some people, atopic dermatitis is related to a gene variation that affects the skin's ability to provide protection.
In other people, atopic dermatitis is caused by too much of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus on the skin.
A weak skin barrier function might also trigger an immune system response that causes the inflamed skin and other symptoms.
