Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a common chronic skin condition that can lead to recurrent infections and poor quality of life if left untreated. Recognized as the “itch that rashes” due to the rash that results from scratching or rubbing, the hallmark of eczema is dry, itchy skin prone to infections. This activity explores the pathogenesis of eczema, acknowledging the intertwined roles of genetic and environmental factors. Learners will gain valuable insights into recognizing eczema across different age brackets, effective evaluation techniques, proactive management of flare-ups, and preventative measures against recurring infections associated with untreated eczema. The course discussion also highlights the role of interprofessional collaboration in improving outcomes for patients with this condition.
