It is a diagnosis for skin disease caused by allergy. It is very common, more prevalent in some breeds than others, and is incurable. Like Diabetes, it can be CONTROLLED but not CURED. Some magical combination of the right food, right medications (both oral and topical as in medicated shampoos) is generally most effective. Recently, a preparation of cyclosporine has been approved (see www.atopica.com) for treatment. It is an exceedingly frustrating disease to treat for veterinarian and owner alike due to its recurrent nature and inability to cure.
