ATOPIC DERMATITIS FORUM UPDATE

ATOPIC DERMATITIS What is atopic dermatitis? Atopic eczema is an inflammation of the skin which tends to flare-up from time to time. It usually starts in early childhood. There is no 'cure', but treatment can usually control or ease symptoms. The word 'atopic' describes people with certain 'allergic' tendencies. People with atopic eczema have an increased chance of developing other 'atopic' conditions such as asthma

How it presents. The skin usually feels dry. Some areas of the skin become red and inflamed. The face is commonly affected in babies. Inflamed skin is itchy. If you scratch a lot it may cause patches of skin to become thickened. Sometimes the inflamed areas of skin become blistered and weepy, may also become infected.

Who has atopic eczema? Most cases first develop in children under the age of five years. Some adults also have atopic dermatitis.

What causes atopic eczema? The cause is not known. The lipid (oily) barrier of the skin tends to be reduced in people with atopic eczema. Some cells of the immune system release chemicals under the skin surface which can cause some inflammation However, there is no proven single cause. There may be a combination of factors in someone who is genetically prone to eczema.

What is the usual treatment for atopic eczema? The usual treatment consists of three parts: Avoid irritants to the skin and other 'triggers'. Emollients - use every day to help prevent inflammation developing. Topical steroids (steroid creams and ointments Newer drugs. Tacrolimus ointment and pimecrolimus creams.

Atopic eczema has become more common in recent years. Factors which may play a role include: changes in climate, pollution, allergies to house dust mite or pollens, diet, infections, or other 'early-life factors‘ even stress anxiety and anger.
