Зображення 00044. Atopic dermatitis on the side of the neck

Atopic dermatitis on the side of the neck in a young adolescent female patient. Usually mild-to-mid-potency topical corticosteroids are a sufficient therapy, followed by emollients. In some cases, in more extensive affection of the head and upper trunk region, IgE-mediated allergy against Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum ovale) may be a reason for therapy resistance.
