ScienceDirect

Dermatitis is a nonspecific term that denotes an inflammatory skin rash characterized by primary changes of erythema, scaling, and exudates, as well as secondary changes of excoriation and lichenification. Various forms of dermatitis have been described, including: atopic dermatitis (AD), nummular dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. The term eczema – derived from ancient Greek and meaning “boiling over” – is frequently used interchangeably to describe the often exudative quality of this skin disorder. However, in practical usage, many clinicians employ the term eczema to refer specifically to AD.
