About Atopic Skin:
Atopic eczema is an increasingly common skin problem that leads to extreme dryness, itchiness and skin discomfort that can be intense.
Depending on the age at which the atopic dermatitis develops, it can be distinguished in:
- Baby’s eczema or atopic dermatitis in infants
- Atopic dermatitis in children
- Atopic dermatitis in adults
Facts about Atopic Skin:
- It’s common in children but can occur at any age. Most often begins before age 5 and may persist into adolescence and adulthood.
- People with a history of atopic dermatitis, allergies, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and food allergies are more likely to develop atopic dermatitis themselves. Infants and children may experience flares from eating certain foods, including eggs, milk, soy and wheat.
- For some people, it flares periodically and then clears up for a time, even for several years.
Symptoms of Atopic Skin:
Symptoms vary from person to person and include:
- Dry skin
- Itching, which may be severe, especially at night
- Redness(erythema) can appear periodically on the face, hands, feet and in infants, the face and scalp
- Small, raised cheeks, which may leak fluid and crust over when scratched
- Raw, sensitive, swollen skin from scratching
Care of Atopic Skin:
To help minimize the drying effects of atopic dermatitis:
- Moisturize your skin at least twice a day. Creams, ointments and lotions seal in moisture.
- Use only gentle, mild products to avoid lose more natural oils from your skin.
- Bathing: Limit your baths and showers to 10 to 15 minutes. Use warm, rather than hot water. After bathing gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp.
- Avoid triggers that worsen the condition. Things that can worsen the skin reaction include sweat, stress, obesity, soaps, detergents, dust and pollen.
