Atopic dermatitis is particular in the structure of allergic diseases as it is one of the most prevalent and very first allergic manifestations, often transforming into other allergic forms, decreasing children's life quality independent of the age and requiring long, step-by-step treatment and follow-up care. Despite a number of research works, the difficulties in determining the therapeutic approach at atopic dermatitis in children are still observed. According to the international program documents ICCAD (International Consensus Conference on Atopic Dermatitis), EAACI (European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology), AAAAI (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology), PRACТALL (Practical Allergology Consensus Report) in treatment of atopic dermatitis, the leading place takes external therapy, which requires an individual approach and daily care of skin condition. External therapy consists of local application of emollients, topical glucocorticosteroids, antihistamines, leukotriene receptor antagonists, calcienurin inhibitors, in the case of complicated clinical course of the disease — antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral drugs, also with skin care.

Keywords: atopic dermatitis, children, external therapy.
