An inflammation of the skin, usually causing itching and sometimes accompanied by crusting, scaling or blisters. A type of often made worse by allergen exposure is termed "atopic dermatitis." A chronic inflammatory skin condition that usually initially appears in young children who have an inherited predisposition to allergies. Many children with atopic dermatitis go on to develop atopic (allergic) rhinitis or atopic (allergic) asthma.
