The objective of this work was to document the comorbidities and environmental factors associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) in dermatology Venereology in Cotonou. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A cross\u2010sectional, prospective, and analytical study included, from January 2016 to December 2018, in the Dermatology\u2010Venereology Department of the National Teaching Hospital Hubert Koutoukou Maga (CNHU\u2010HKM) of Cotonou, children and adults after free and informed consent, in whom the diagnosis of AD was retained according to the criteria of the United Kingdom Working Party. Severity was assessed using SCORAD (severity scoring of atopic dermatitis). <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The overall prevalence of AD was 7.7%. AD was more frequent in children (56.8% and 40.6%) and adults (59.8% and 37.4%) from urban and periurban areas (0.003\u2009&lt;\u2009<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.034). It was more frequent in children who regularly dewormed and those with complete vaccination (0.001\u2009&lt;\u2009<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01). In 54.8% of children and 58.9% of adults, flare\u2010ups occurred during the warm season. The main associated comorbidities were rhinitis and conjunctivitis in both children (49.7% and 36.1%, respectively) and adults (32.7% and 26.2%, respectively). The main triggering factors in children were heat (43.2%), pneumallergens (28.4%), and skin irritants (22.6%). In adults, we noted skin irritants (58.9%), heat (47.7%), and psychological factors (34.6%). In adults, the use of detergent soaps was associated with lichenified and severe AD (0.003\u2009&lt;\u2009<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.006) and that of lightening soaps with acute AD (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.042). <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. AD in the Dermatology\u2010Venereology Department of the CNHU\u2010HKM of Cotonou was associated with comorbidities. It was influenced by environmental factors related to the tropical climate and by skin irritants or allergens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/1502721","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,24]],"date-time":"2021-11-24T13:05:05Z","timestamp":1637759105000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Comorbidities
