Itchy irritated skin is extremely dry skin, which is particularly sensitive to its environment. In the case of atopic dermatitis, it often appears from childhood in the first weeks of life.
Beyond the intense itching and irritation, the visible signs of atopic skin are localized plaques, which develop in crises. The supply of lipids to rebuild the skin barrier is key in the management of irritated, dry skin prone to atopic .
An internet user’s question: I suffer from allergies (eczema, shingles). Will my daughter therefore be more prone to developing these skin problems?
Shingles is not an allergy but a viral infection. However, if you suffer from atopic allergic reactions, your daughter is more likely than average to suffer atopic dermatitis.
An internet user’s question: How can atopic dermatisis be prevented and treated?
Prevention is used for “at-risk” children, namely children with at least one allergy-prone parent. In these cases, for example, we know that it is best to avoid contact with cats during the first few weeks. As regards treatment, outbreaks of eczema should be treated as early as possible with topical anti-inflammatory steroids. Changes in the skin barrier should be treated every day with an emollient.
