Abstract
Atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema is a complex heterogeneous inflammatory skin condition, typified by classic distribution pattern in most cases. Typically, in infancy it involves the cheeks, and over time, as it settles over the cheek area, extensors tend to get involved, and by 2 years of age flexural distribution predominates. Acral pattern is largely seen in adult population but may unusually be seen in children. This review article focuses on the atypical manifestations of atopic dermatitis.
