What characterizes Atopic Dermatitis?

  1. A bacterial infection

  2. Hereditary rash characterized by dry, sensitive, irritated skin

  3. A type of sunburn

  4. A fungal infection

The correct answer is: Hereditary rash characterized by dry, sensitive, irritated skin

Atopic Dermatitis is a genetic condition that is characterized by a dry, sensitive, and irritated skin rash. It is not caused by a bacterial infection (A), sunburn (C), or fungal infection (D). Although external factors such as allergens and irritants can trigger flare-ups, the underlying cause is a genetic predisposition. Therefore, option B, a hereditary rash, is the correct answer to this question. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the characteristics of Atopic Dermatitis.
