Atopic eczema, also known as eczema or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic, itchy skin condition that affects people of all ages. It is the most common form of dermatitis and is characterised by red, inflamed skin that may be dry, scaly, or have blisters. It is usually found in people who have an 'atopic tendency', which means they may also develop conditions such as asthma and hay fever.

Atopic eczema is caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors, including defects in skin barrier function and exposure to certain irritants.

The appearance of atopic eczema can vary greatly between individuals and may change over time. There is quite a variation in the appearance of atopic eczema between individuals. From time to time, most people have acute flares with inflamed, red, sometimes blistered and weepy patches. In between flares, the skin may appear normal or suffer from chronic eczema with dry, thickened and itchy areas.
