This skin inflammation (dermatitis) is characteristically localized in certain areas of the head and body, associated with itching, which usually occurs from childhood or youth, in people who already have a more sensitive type of skin or a characteristically dry atopic condition. It usually occurs in outbreaks with improvement and possible worsening, depending on some aggravating factors such as dry skin, cold, stress, the use of chemicals or irritating fabrics, scratching and superinfection of the skin. It is not contagious, although treatment often includes antibiotics for intercurrent infections. It is not hereditary either, but on certain occasions families can inherit the "atopic" condition or dry, more sensitive skin, as well as the tendency to asthma or allergic rhinitis. It requires an adequate individualized assessment of each case, in order to treat both outbreaks and their prevention.
