ABSTRACT
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by episodes of acute eczema alternating with periods of remission. It is a common disease, Its prevalence is estimated to be between 10 and 15 %. The affected areas change depending on the age of the child. Treatment consists of topical corticosteroids for which safety for the prescribed doses is now established. We distinguish the initial treatment and maintenance treatment. Investigation for a food allergy or contact allergy is reported as a second-line after failure of local treatment or in the presence of other suggestive symptoms.
