Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic skin disorder characterized by itch and dry skin, which can develop into pruritic red plaques that ooze when scratched. AD flares often occur in anatomic areas where the skin is naturally thin (the face, neck, and intertriginous zones). Such regions, especially the face, are also areas of sensitive skin and need special consideration when being treated.
