    Atopic eczema is a common inflammatory skin disorder that affects 5-10% of the population and 10-20% of children. It is characterized by a histological process called spongiosis, which is the accumulation of fluid within and between skin cells, giving it a spongy appearance. Many people with atopic eczema will go on to develop asthma or allergic rhinitis. Atopic eczema causes itchy, inflammatory rashes that tend to occur in skin folds, and up to 60% of children with the condition have an atopic phenotype without demonstrable IgE-mediated allergies.
