Atopic eczema is the most common and persistent dermatological condition seen in general practice. Over the last few years, advances have been made in the genetics of atopy in general, newer treatments have been introduced for topical use, and new concepts suggested in the etiology. Thus, a new text on atopic eczema is both timely and useful.
