A member asked:
What is skin asthma? and how do i know if i had one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such thing: Asthma refers to airway inflammation and does not occur on the skin . However atopic dermatitis has at times been referred to as a form of asthma on the skin. The analogy however is not quite accurate. (twitchy lungs in asthma, itchy skin in AD).
