About atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes flare-ups. It usually occurs in the first years of life and in children under 10-12 years of age, but in some cases it can continue to happen during adulthood. It causes itching, redness and peeling.

The specific cause is not known, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of environmental, genetic and immune factors. It has been observed that if breakouts are treated well and followed up well, the evolution of the skin will be much better and the person's quality of life will improve.

The sprouts

During an outbreak, the area itches, flakes, and is red. Even if your skin itches, it's important to never scratch it. Emollient creams may not be enough in these cases. If it has been tried, and the outbreak does not improve, it is necessary to go to the dermatologist so that he can recommend the most appropriate treatment.

The maintenance

As we've seen before, maintaining atopic skin can help fewer breakouts appear, and even make them milder. Some tips on how to do this:

  • Avoid products that may be aggressive, such as soaps with anionic surfactants. Instead, we can use “soap-free soaps”, that is, In oil: they are softer on the skin and leave the skin protected.

    Excessive hygiene can also be moderated: contact with the outside world from the earliest years of age helps to create and strengthen immunity.
  • The baths should be short, with warm water.
  • When drying the skin after bathing, try not to scrub too much so as not to irritate the skin.
  • Moisturize the skin with emollient products especially suitable for atopic skin ALWAYS after bathing and especially during periods of recovery from the outbreak. The oil can be applied directly to wet skin, so we better retain water.

  • Sudden changes in temperature and extreme temperatures can worsen irritation and itching.
  • On the other hand, it has been found that seawater, the sun and the humidity of the beach can improve symptoms. You should always use sunscreen, and better if it is with physical filters.
