  • Title: The effective management of atopic dermatitis in school-age children.
    Author: Ward S.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 100(32):55-6. PubMed ID: 15373163.
    Abstract:
    The terms atopic eczema and atopic dermatitis (AD) are synonymous. In this article, the latter term is used. AD can affect all age groups but is most commonly associated with children. It is a dry-skin condition, the severity of which can vary from person to person. It is not contagious. In mild forms of the condition the skin is dry, hot and itchy, while in more severe cases the skin can be broken, raw and bleeding, or produce vesicles and papules that may become eroded.
