Just scratching the surface: A review of pediatric skin allergies

Abstract

The skin is a large and sophisticated organ populated by innate and adaptive immune effector cells. These immune cells provide a critical first line of defense against pathogens, but genetic and environmental factors can lead to inappropriate signaling that may manifest as hypersensitivity. The most common cutaneous allergic disorders in children include atopic dermatitis, urticaria/angioedema, and contact dermatitis. In this review, we will briefly review these conditions, with a focus on recent developments in our understanding of the diagnosis and management of these disorders.
