Atopic eczema in the corner of the mouth
Atopic dermatitis, presumably better known as neurodermatitis, is a chronic skin disease that is probably caused by an exuberant reaction of our body’s immune system. Neurodermatitis shows itself preferentially in areas where skin meets skin, such as in joint bends. An affection of the face with neurodermatitis is also not untypical and thus an atopic eczema can also appear at the corner of the mouth. The skin here often appears sensitive and itchy. Remedial action can be taken here, for example, by ointments with cortisone supplement, which can be applied directly to the affected skin for a short time.
