Atopic neurodermatitis is a skin condition characterized by chronic itching, inflammation, and scaling. This condition is also known as atopic eczema or simply eczema. Symptoms may include dry and scaly patches of skin, redness, swelling, and itching. As this condition is widely recognized, there are several synonyms that are used interchangeably. These synonyms may include atopic dermatitis, allergic eczema, neurodermatitis, and flexural eczema. While this condition can be treated with medications and lifestyle changes, prevention is also key. Avoiding triggers such as stress, certain foods, and harsh soaps can help to control outbreaks and provide relief to the affected individual.
