Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by dryness, itching, redness, and recurrent rashes. It is one of the most common forms of eczema and often associated with a family history of allergies, asthma, or hay fever. The condition usually begins in infancy or early childhood, though it can persist or recur in adulthood. The disease involves a defective skin barrier and overactive immune response, leading to dryness, irritation, and inflammation of the skin.

Homeopathy treats atopic dermatitis by addressing the root cause of hypersensitivity and immune imbalance. Remedies are chosen according to individual constitution, nature of eruptions, and emotional triggers. Homeopathy aims to reduce itching, prevent flare-ups, heal skin naturally, and strengthen the immune system. Unlike topical steroids, it offers deep, long-term relief without side effects or dependency.
