It is a complex multifactorial disease that combines two types of abnormalities : An alteration of the epidermal barrier (filaggrin deficiency), which makes the skin dry and abnormally sensitive to all attacks, a tendency to sensitisation to IgE allergens.

It is the most common dermatosis in children: affecting around 12% to 15% in France, it can appear in the first few months of life. It affects 20% of children under the age of 7 and is still around 18% in children aged 7 to 16 years.
