Darker skin
On dark skin tone, atopic dermatitis can cause darker brown, purple and gray patches. Black people with atopic dermatitis experience extensive dryness and dark circle around the eyes. Atopic dermatitis can cause both hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. This skin discoloration can last from months to years. This change in color is very prominent in children. Even after the treatment of atopic dermatitis, the darker patches do not go away. The darkening of the skin is one of the chronic signs of atopic dermatitis. These marks usually stay permanently on the skin. Proper skin care is required once you are suffering from atopic dermatitis.
