Abstract
General information on atopic dermatitis (AD), its history and epidemiological significance are presented. Multiple etiopathogenetic factors affecting disease manifestation are identified. The absence of specific tests, laboratory and histological studies, that can help in correct AT diagnosis, is mentioned. Most of AT diagnostic schemes clarify main (major) and additional (minor) signs of disease. Clinical manifestations of AD minor signs crucial for revealing of subacute and chronic course, as well as onset of incomplete remission of disease are described. Topical AD management regimens are presented. Pathogenetic verifications for emollients and regenerating agents use are presented.Keywords
