Medications for Atopic Dermatitis

Other names: Allergic Dermatitis; Contact Dermatitis; Dermatitis, Allergic; Dermatitis, Contact

Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition characterized by a recurring rash associated with itch. Most people with atopic dermatitis have at least one of the following other conditions: hay fever, asthma, chronic urticaria, or food allergies.

Dermatitis is another name for skin inflammation and the word “eczema” may be used interchangeably with dermatitis; therefore, atopic dermatitis is the same as atopic eczema.

Atopic dermatitis is common among certain families and it usually starts in early childhood, although it can occur at any age. It is the most common form of eczema seen in children. The exact cause of atopic dermatitis is not known, but researchers believe it may involve genetics, a defect in the skin’s barrier, the environment, and/or the immune system.

What are the Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis?

  • Red, inflamed areas of skin that are very itchy.
  • Atopic dermatitis may affect the face (especially in infants), hands, feet or in the creases and folds of the skin on the arms and legs.
  • Affected areas may take on a scaly appearance.
  • General dry skin all over the body is also common.
  • Constant scratching may lead to thickened areas of skin or broken areas of skin which are prone to infection and may become crusted and “weepy”.

Symptoms of atopic dermatitis usually come and go. Periods of activity are called “flares” and these are usually followed by periods of relative skin normality.

If atopic dermatitis developed in childhood, it often improves with age, although some people may experience flares now and then in adulthood.

How is Atopic Dermatitis Treated?

Having a good skincare routine every day helps in the management of atopic dermatitis.

Skin should be cleansed with a mild, soap-free cleanser that is recommended for people prone to dermatitis. Using a cleanser that is too harsh can aggravate dermatitis. Cleansing should be followed by a hypoallergenic moisturizer – again choose one recommended for atopic dermatitis.

Try to pinpoint any atopic dermatitis triggers. These are events or substances that make your dermatitis worse and may include chemical irritants, stress, hot/cold temperatures, sweating, pollen, animal dander, dust, or hormones. Try and minimize exposure to these if possible.

Use your OTC and prescription medications exactly as your doctor has prescribed. These are important to help control flares or keep them at bay.

Dress in soft breathable fabrics and avoid itchy fabrics like wool.
