				 Introduction. Atopic eczema (or atopic dermatitis, AD) has a great impact on the quality of life of the affected person as well as the whole family. Hospitalization may be required during exacerbations of the disease.
				Aim. The authors of this paper have gathered the essential information about this disease and would like to comment on standards of care and management of atopic dermatitis which are implemented according to the current medical knowledge.
				Summary. Applying emollients everyday is a recommended practice for avoiding a recurrence of the disease. Basic skin care is just as important as pharmacological treatment during both the acute and chronic stage. In certain cases, dietary interventions such as food elimination may be beneficial. We present some useful ways for the management of pruritus, which is a disabling feature of AD. In the present paper, the authors discuss clinical presentation and treatment of atopic dermatitis.
