Atopic dermatitis in children is common. However, where many patients only have minor symptoms, in children seen in departments of dermatology the majority often have widespread dermatitis for longer periods of time. Both the disease, with repetitive flares, and the treatment are often a cause of concern for both patient and parents. Compliance in the group varies and in the patients seen in the eczema school this is often a problem.
