Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis
People with atopic dermatitis have skin that reacts very easily to irritants (e.g. dust, pet dander, pollen, perfume, chlorine), becoming red, flaky and very itchy. The skin is also vulnerable to surface infections caused by bacteria. Break-outs are especially common in places where the skin flexes (e.g., the insides of the elbows and knees).
