Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a non-contagious inflammatory skin condition that affects an estimated 30 percent of the U.S. population, mostly children and adolescents. It is a chronic disease characterized by dry, itchy skin that can weep clear fluid when scratched. People with eczema also may be particularly susceptible to bacterial, viral, and fungal skin infections. http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/eczema/understanding/Pages/info.aspx RD |
