Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease in early childhood and is caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The quality of life of patients and their families is considerably impaired, mainly due to the unpleasant itching, restrictions in everyday activities, insomnia and the disfiguring, highly inflammatory skin changes. In addition, increased risks of autoimmune diseases have been described. Provocation factors, clinic, therapy and preventive measures are presented.
