- Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is an inflammation of the skin that causes itching. It is a long-lasting (chronic) condition that is sometimes followed by hay fever or asthma.
- According to Mayo Clinic: “Eczema may affect any area of your skin, but it typically appears on your arms and behind your knees. It tends to flare periodically and then subside.”
