It affects 10 20 of adolescents and 1 3 percent of adults over their lifetime are caused by a complicated interaction between relevant genes, the environment of the host, pharmacological aberrations, and immunological variables. Two primary theories have been postulated. The first theory is that the adaptive immune system is out of balance, and the second is that the skin barrier is impaired. There is no specific test for Atopic dermatitis. Topical or systemic treatments are indicated depending on the severity of the Atopic dermatitis. It includes emmolients, corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors, biological and wet wrap therapy.
