Neurodermatitis is a non-contagious, chronic inflammatory skin disease. It can take a mild course with only a few symptoms, but variable or severe courses can also occur. Neurodermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases in babies and young children.
The main symptom of neurodermatitis is itching. The more your child scratches, the more intense the itching becomes. In some cases, the signs of neurodermatitis are expressed on one or more areas of the skin. Neurodermatitis also progresses in episodes that can vary in length and intensity.
Neurodermatitis is usually accompanied by a rash, although the severity of the rash can vary. In an acute rash, the skin is red and itchy. In addition, the formation of blisters is not uncommon.
Dry to very dry skin is another symptom of atopic dermatitis in your child. The appearance of the skin changes with frequent scratching - it becomes thicker and may keratinize to protect itself.
