title: [Management of atopic dermatitis].
abstract: Management of atopic dermatitis should be based on cooperation among the physician, the child and the parents. There is no "radical" treatment that can eradicate the signs of this chronic affliction, which most often regresses during the first years of life. The aim of treatment is thus to combat infectious factors and to treat flares. In most cases, simple, daily and careful attention, using anti-infectious treatment, anti-inflammatory treatment by local corticosteroid application, and palliating skin dryness will assure the child of normal quality of life.
