Atopic dermatitis manifests itself as irritated red areas of skin. These areas are usually found in the folds of the skin and on the inner sides of the elbows, behind the knees and around the eyes. In difficult cases, especially in children, the inflammation and irritation can also appear on the skin of the face, palms, scalp and back.
Many of the eruptions on the face, neck and other areas of the body are allergic reactions to substances applied to the skin (cosmetics), to substances in clothing (dyes, laundry detergents), and to the active ingredients in household cleaning products and to the nickel found in jewelry.
The skin of an infant is very thin and easily damaged. Even short exposure to the sun’s rays or to hot water will cause a burn. The use of chemicals and soaps which are unsuitable for an infant’s delicate skin can lead to irritation or to the development of an allergic reaction.
