Abstract

Atopic dermatitis often represents as a “diffuse” skin condition. The definition of the whole disease seems to be as unprecise as the borders of affected skin areas. Sometimes the term “involved” skin is questionable, especially when the dermatohistopathological investigations used show signs of inflammation also in clinically “uninvolved” skin areas. The susceptibility for environmental influences, especially on the psychosocial level, underlines the strong variability of this dermatosis. In addition, this disease manifests itself differently in different age groups and different body regions.
