One of the most common childhood diseases – from 17 to 25% – is atopic dermatitis. Starting at an early age, this disease acquires a recurrent course,
leading to a decrease in the child’s social adaptation. Atopic dermatitis is a genetically determined, chronic, recurrent skin disease,
clinically manifested by primary itching, lichenoid papules (in infancy
papulovesicles) and lichenification.
