Tip) About Atopic Dermatitis

It is said that the cause of atopy cannot be precisely corrected.

 

Nevertheless, there are three suspected factors.

 

The first is genetic factors.

If your parents have atopic dermatitis, it is said that your child is more likely to have atopic dermatitis as well.

 

The second is environmental factors.

In simple terms, there are various factors that cause allergies, such as exhaust fumes from industrialization, food additives, and house dust mites.

 

Therefore, households with atopic dermatitis patients need to pay extra special attention to cleanliness.

 

Lastly, the third is immune disorder.

This indicates a malfunction in immune regulation. When the body's immune regulation function is impaired, it becomes highly sensitive to changes in the internal and external environment or surrounding conditions, leading to inflammation in the skin or bronchi, which results in atopic symptoms.

 

Treatment methods are

 

The first thing is to pay attention to skin hydration. For atopic dermatitis patients, the most important thing is to keep the skin moisturized.

Applying moisturizers regularly that protect the skin barrier and prevent dryness can significantly improve the condition of many atopic dermatitis patients.

 

The second is applying tea tree oil.

Actually, this is more of a way to relieve one of the symptoms of atopic dermatitis, which is itching, rather than a treatment method.

Even though it has strong sterilizing power, tea tree oil with minimal irritation and no side effects, when applied daily, can greatly help alleviate itching and play a significant role in regenerating wounds caused by scratching.

 

Thirdly, it's definitely food.

It is recommended to reduce fast food and processed foods as much as possible.

 

Finally, the treatment method for atopic dermatitis is to receive medication prescriptions.

 

*Topical steroids

*Local immune modulator

Whole-body steroids

Systemic immunosuppressant

Antihistamine

 

You should consider applying an ointment to the back first.

 

In particular, immunomodulatory ointments are said to have no significant side effects even when used for a long period.

 

In severe cases, systemic steroids are administered, which can have dramatic effects, but they may also worsen rapidly, and long-term use is difficult.

 

If the above method does not work, systemic immunosuppressants can be cautiously used at low doses.

 

Atopic dermatitis is very painful.

To the patient themselves or to their watching family members.

Since it feels more like management than complete recovery, you need to consistently manage your lifestyle and eating habits.

 

A person I know moved to a completely different country to treat their atopic dermatitis.

Maybe because I saw my whole family suffering from atopic dermatitis, I end up feeling grateful for children who are born healthy without atopic dermatitis.
