Dermatitis refers to general skin inflammation including rashes, acne, or even dandruff. Dermatitis can be short-lived, but when dermatitis occurs on a more long-lasting or chronic basis, it is typically referred to as eczema. The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis (AD), and symptoms include red rash in the creases of the knees, elbows, face, or scalp and can be genetically linked to parents or people with a family history of hay fever, asthma, or allergies to food.
