Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation, redness, and irritation of the skin. It is often observed in childhood. However, it can also occur in adults. This skin disorder is not contagious, hence it does not spread via touching.

Atopic dermatitis has 2 stages;

  1. Flare: There is acute itching, redness, inflammation, and dry scaly skin
  2. Remission: There is a point when there will be no itching, dryness, or inflammation on the skin. The skin appears very normal.

Atopic dermatitis often resolves when the kid turns 18. But it is not certain that eczema will get cured on its own. It might linger on your whole life or it might get resolved at puberty.

Symptoms of eczema

  • Dry red patches on the skin
  • Inflammation of skin
  • Itching and bleeding of skin if scratched
  • Thickening of skin
  • Darkening of the skin around the eyes

Usually, these symptoms will resolve on their own or after applying moisturizing lotion. But if the symptoms still persist then it is better to take a professional’s help for symptomatic relief.

Causes of Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

  • Genetics
  • Bacterial infection
  • Weak immunity

 

Complications of Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

  • Neurodermatitis: It develops a dry itchy skin path. Once you scratch it, the itching worsens. Chronic itching and scratching will make the affected area discolored, thick, and leathery.
  • Contact dermatitis: It is caused when the person touches the substance that triggers the allergic reaction.
  • Prone to skin infections: With constant scratching, the part of the skin is exposed to bacteria and viruses in the surrounding. These infections if not treated might cause severe complications.
  • Discoloration of skin: The affected skin area either loses color or becomes darker than the original skin. This is called hyper or hypopigmentation.
  • Food allergies: Along with dermatitis people are more prone to suffer from food allergies. This is mostly due to low immunity.
  • Psychological implication: The person might suffer from depression or anxiety due to the illness. The constant fear of allergy and itching might also disturb sleep and cause sleep-related issues.

 

Prevention of Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Eczema cannot be cured. But, you can always try to reduce the effect of the flare stages or minimize the effects of allergies.

  • Use moisturizer: Dry skin triggers an itching response. Apply milk-based lotions, creams, shea butter, petroleum jelly, or any product that suits your skin well. Apply twice a day to avoid dryness. Use unscented, without essential oil and mild products.
  • Shower regularly: Shower twice a day with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water and long showers, as they may dry your skin. Take a quick shower, pat dry your body, and apply moisturizer. Avoid scrubbing your skin while bathing or while wiping your body dry.
  • Use a mild soap: Use a soap that is scent-free, and does not have any harmful oils, dyes, or alcohol. Infants do not need soap. Only a warm water bath is enough.
  • Avoid using scented products on the skin directly: Avoid using deodorants, body mists, antiperspirants, perfumes, etc.
