Abstract
Atopic eczema forms together with extrinsic bronchial asthma and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis the classical atopic triad. Genetic predisposition is the crucial pathogenetic factor. The combination of genetic disposition and provocation factors leads to the clinical appearance of skin disease. In addition to therapy adjusted to the stage of the disease, modern management should include a search for relevant trigger factors and then their avoidance to reduce or even prevent flares of the disease. The spectrum of provocation factors ranges from simple measures such as appropriate clothing up to specific measures such as indoor aeroallergen reduction measures.
