Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, itchy skin inflammation. This condition can accompany other atopic diseases such as asthma, hay fever, or allergic rhinitis. Symptoms of atopic dermatitis often begin very early, starting in infancy, and may continue into adulthood or appear at any time in life.

1. How to Recognize Atopic Dermatitis?

Atopic dermatitis can affect any area of the skin but is commonly found on the hands and flexural areas (elbow and knee creases). Symptoms tend to flare up periodically and then subside, only to recur after some time, significantly impacting the quality of life and causing fatigue and discomfort. During acute episodes, patients experience red, itchy skin patches. The itching can be severe, especially at night, leading to sleep disturbances. As the condition subsides, the skin may turn brown or gray, leaving thickened patches from frequent scratching. Chronic itching and prolonged rubbing can lead to thickened skin, which is often dry and cracked.

2. Causes of Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is an allergic, immune-related familial disease. The exact cause remains unclear. Some theories suggest it is due to excessively dry skin that easily gets irritated, combined with innate immune system abnormalities leading to itchy rashes. This condition can start in infancy and is more common in families with members suffering from asthma or allergic rhinitis. Other factors that can trigger or exacerbate symptoms include hot water baths, prolonged bathing, changing soaps, temperature changes, sweating, low humidity environments, wearing wool or synthetic fabrics, exposure to dust, animal dander, cigarette smoke, or consuming allergenic foods like eggs, milk, fish, soy, or wheat. Sometimes identifying the exact cause requires in-depth testing, but it's not always possible. Thus, patients are often advised to avoid known irritants to limit the possibility of flare-ups.

3. What to Do If You Have Atopic Dermatitis?

If you suspect atopic dermatitis based on the symptoms described, it's important to visit a dermatology specialist for a diagnosis and to rule out other conditions. Inform the doctor about your symptoms, their onset, and duration, and any factors you think might trigger the condition, such as weather changes, soap usage, sweating, or cigarette smoke. Additionally, mention any food allergies, other allergic conditions, or if anyone in your family has similar conditions.

4. Skin and Hair Care Solutions for People with Atopic Dermatitis

The goal of atopic dermatitis treatment is to reduce inflammation, alleviate itching, prevent future flare-ups, and avoid complications. Besides medications prescribed by doctors, patients should carefully choose natural skincare and body care products.
