Symptoms appear around the mouth, on the cheeks, and on the outside of the limbs when under 2 years of age. There is a lot of friction between the aged 3 and adolescent, or in the folded parts (arms, neck, earlobe, armpits, etc.), and then more on the face and neck. Main symptoms are itching, location and shape of characteristic lesion, history of atopy or family history.
