Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Other diagnosis: Atopic dermatitis typically begins in childhood. A new diagnosis of atopic dermatitis at age 50 is possible, but a dermatologist would be helpful in ruling other causes of rash at this age especially if systemic steroids were tried and less than helpful.
