Abstract
Atopic dermatitis, with its many variations, occurs predominantly in children. In adults, it occurs with both similar and different variations. The typical child presents with an extremely pruritic rash that is troublesome not only to the patient but also to the caregivers. This chapter summarizes pictorially the clinical presentations before and after treatment of eczema, appearances of different types of cultures, pathologic findings, and involvement of the immune system and presents treatment and prevention algorithms.
