Atopic eczema / Dermatitis
Infantile eczema; Atopic dermatitis; Dermatitis atopic; Eczema atopic,
Eczema is a chronic skin disorder that involves scaly and itchy rashes. Atopic eczema is the most common type.
Types
- Contact dermatitis
- Dyshidrotic eczema
- Nummular eczema
- Seborrheic dermatitis
Causes,
- Atopic eczema is due to a hypersensitivity reaction similar to an allergy in the skin, which leads to long-term inflammation of the skin.
- Eczema is most common in infants. Many people outgrow it by early adulthood. The condition tends to run in families.
- People with eczema often have asthma or hay fever, too. There is often a family history of allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever, or eczema.
Risk factors
- Allergies to pollen, mold, dust mites, or animals
- Colds or the flu
- Contact with rough materials
- Dry skin
- Exposure to environmental irritants
- Exposure to water
- Feeling too hot or too cold
- Fragrances or dyes added to skin lotions or soaps
- Stress
Symptoms
- Typical skin changes may include:
- Blisters with oozing and crusting
- Ear discharge or bleeding
- Raw areas of the skin from scratching
- Skin coloring changes -- more or less coloring than the normal skin tone (See: Skin abnormally dark or light)
- Skin redness or inflammation around the blisters
- Thickened or leather-like areas, called lichenification, which can occur after long-term irritation and scratching
- Both the type of rash and where the rash appears can depend on the age of the patient:
- In children younger than age 2, skin lesions begin on the face, scalp, hands, and feet. It is often a crusting, bubbling, or oozing rash.
- In older children and adults, the rash is more commonly seen on the inside of the knees and elbows, as well as the neck, hands, and feet.
- During a severe outbreak, rashes may occur anywhere on the body.
- Itching, which is sometimes intense, almost always occurs. Itching may start even before the rash appears.
SKIN CARE AT HOME
- Taking care of your skin at home may reduce the need for medications.
- Avoid scratching the rash or skin if you can:
- Relieve the itch by using a cold compress and taking antihistamines to reduce severe itching.
- Keep your child's fingernails cut short. Consider light gloves if nighttime scratching is a problem.
- Keep the skin moist Moisturizers should be free of alcohol, scents, dyes, fragrances, or other chemicals.
Avoid anything that makes your symptoms worse.
This may include:
- Foods such as eggs in a very young child (always discuss with your doctor first)
- Irritants such as wool and lanolin
- Strong soaps or detergents, as well as chemicals and solvents
- Sudden changes in body temperature and stress, which may cause sweating and worsen the condition
Triggers that cause allergy symptoms
- When washing or bathing:
- Keep water contact as brief as possible and use less soap than usual. Short, cooler baths are better then long, hot baths.
- Do not scrub or dry the skin too hard or for too long.
- After bathing, it is important to apply lubricating creams, lotions, or ointment on the skin while it is damp. This will help trap moisture in the skin.
