Atopic Eczema [also known as Atopic Dermatitis or just Eczema] is a very common dry skin condition that is often inherited. A patient with eczema can also have a personal or family history of hayfever or asthma, a situation that we call Atopy [thus the name Atopic Eczema]. Atopic diseases are likely to represent an over-active immune system leading to disease.
