Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a common condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. While it often affects children, it can occur at any age. This chronic condition can flare up but is not contagious. Those with atopic dermatitis may also develop food allergies, hay fever, or asthma.
Atopic Dermatitis Treatment
What is Atopic Dermatitis?
A healthcare provider diagnoses atopic dermatitis by discussing symptoms, examining the skin, and reviewing medical history. Tests may include allergy and patch testing to identify triggers.
Treatment
Treatment typically starts with regular moisturizing. If ineffective, options include:
- Medicated Creams: Corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors to control itching.
- Antibiotics: For any infections.
- Pills: For severe cases, medications like cyclosporine or prednisone may be prescribed.
- Injectable Biologics: Such as dupilumab for moderate to severe eczema.
Therapies
- Wet Dressings: Applying corticosteroid ointment covered with wet gauze for severe cases.
- Light Therapy: Controlled exposure to UV light, though it’s less common for young children.
- Counseling: Support for emotional challenges related to the condition.
Baby Eczema
For infants, treatments include avoiding irritants, giving short warm baths, and applying moisturizer. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for possible prescriptions.
Conclusion
Managing atopic dermatitis involves a combination of self-care and medical treatment. Identifying and avoiding triggers can help reduce flare-ups and improve skin health.
