PY - 2014 T2 - Strange and Schafermeyer's Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 4e AB - Atopic dermatitis affects 10% to 20% of children and 60% to 70% of cases remit by 15 years of age.Typical patterns of eczematous rash occur based on the age of the patient—extensor surfaces of the extremities, cheeks, and scalp for young children; flexor surfaces of the extremities for older children.Nickel allergy is the most common identifiable cause of allergic contact dermatitis.Irritant diaper dermatitis occurs on the convex surfaces of skin in the diaper area, while fungal diaper dermatitis occurs in the concave surfaces with satellite papules on the adjacent skin.Most cases of dermatitis, regardless of cause, respond to topical steroids and removal of causative agent. Rarely, systemic steroids are needed to bring inflammation under control.
