Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a common, chronic, intensely pruritic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease that affects both children and adults. Atopic dermatitis inherits an increased tendency for irritable skin and of getting sensitized to various antigens present in the atmosphere. It may also be associated with other components of atopy like asthma, urticaria, hay fever or allergic dermatitis & produces a series of allergic disorders, mentioned as the "atopic march". There are numerous risk factors correlated with AD development in which two have always been related, and they are (1) family history of atopy and (2) loss of function mutations in the FLG gene. Here is a case of 8 yrs old boy suffering  from Atopic dermatitis of elbows and knees since 2 yrs and a family history of asthma, allergic rhinitis were treated with constitutional homoeopathic medicine.
