Abstract:
Atopic eczema often develops during infancy and can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. However, despite this the condition is often not taken seriously by health-care professionals. Atopic eczema is also a widespread problem, affecting as many as 15-20% of children in Britain. The incidence of atopic eczema has risen over the last few decades and genetic factors are no longer thought to be the only aetiological factor - it is now postulated that environmental may also play a part in the development of the condition. Recent research highlights how a defective skin barrier can be a significant issue for atopic skin. This article looks at how atopic eczema affects the quality of life of patients and details the management techniques that are available.
