It is indeed atopic dermatitis.

Let’s rule out differential diagnoses:

• Contact Eczema:

Location related to an allergen, +- vesicular and + pruritic. + difficult when chronic or nummular.

• Mycosis (Ringworm):

Lesions with geographic edges, inflammatory at the edges, with scarring at the centre, centrifugal, recent +- pruritic.

Animal contact and mycology if necessary.
