Acne and atopic dermatitis in a paediatrician’s surgery
- Dermatovenerologické oddělení FN Motol, Praha
Acne is a chronic, noninfectious, inflammatory skin disease of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. It affects both sexes regardless of age;
however, it is most common between 11 and 25 years of age. In about 10–15 % of patients, manifestations may occur at older age. Atopic
eczema is an intensely itchy, chronic inflammatory skin condition. The incidence of the disease has a progressive trend. In the Czech Republic,
the prevalence is approximately 5–10 %. A positive family history increases the likelihood of development of the disease in children.
