Practice Nursing, 11/11/09
Watkins J –Atopic eczema is an intensely itchy, inflammatory disease of the skin, also known as dermatitis. It is associated with eczematous lesions, dry skin and lichenification (thickening of the epidermis, with exaggeration of the normal creases). In many cases the diagnosis is obvious but sometimes it is necessary to investigate the possibility of an underlying or alternative diagnosis. The possibility that eczema is caused by contact with a substance that the person is allergic to, or results from contact with irritant substances, must also be considered.
