VIP Updates Terms of UseEczema, also known as atopic dermatitis or AD, is a chronic disease characterized by dry, itchy, inflamed skin with unpredictable flares. Eczema predominantly affects children, and the prevalence is only increasing. About 13% of children in the US have eczema, and it most commonly appears as dry, itchy patches on the face or neck, and in the folds of the elbows or knees.
Your healthcare provider can determine whether you or your child have eczema and what the best treatment option is.

You may also experience itch relief, as reported in the pivotal studies by some patients, in as early as 2 days.
