Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is an inflammatory skin condition which affects one in five children and one in 12 adults in Ireland.
Eczema is characterised mainly by itchy, dry skin and often runs in families.
Dr Doireann O'Leary, health blogger and GP with MyCorkGP, joined us for our weekly medical slot to mark Eczema Awareness Month and tell us how to treat the condition.
