Diagnosis of Atopic Dermatitis 

RSS Feeds   Text 
A thorough physical examination of the lesions and laboratory examination of the biopsied lesions are generally conducted.

Allergy test may be carried out to find the cause as any food or inhalant allergen.

Laboratory cultures are also done to see whether any bacterial or fungal infections are there.

Very good information here! One thing I never understand is why blog posts and articles about atopic dermatitis always list the back of the knees and inside the elbows as common locations, but never mention the front of the knees and outside the elbows which is where members of my family most commonly have atopic dermatitis flare ups. I found another good article on this topic: Atopic Eczema
