The first records of atopic dermatitis are provided by the Roman author Sueton, who describes this disease in Emperor Augustus. Other writings on atopic dermatitis are found in the dermatology book of the Italian physician Girolamo Mercuriale in the 16th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the French doctors Brocq and Jacquet described the symptoms and called the disease neurodermatitis because they assumed that the symptoms were caused by an inflammation of the nerves.

Although this was refuted, the term persisted. In 1930 other terms such as atopic dermatitis were used to describe the disease.
