Could It Be Atopic Dermatitis?

Atopic dermatitis, or AD, is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects your skin and can greatly impact your quality of life. And while it usually starts out as extremely itchy patches of skin that turn into a rash after you scratch, AD can be different for different people. It can even look different depending on your skin tone and race or ethnicity.
