What do we need to know about atopic dermatitis? The more general term would be eczema, a worldwide skin condition that affects 20% of kids. Many of them this suffer from very minor case of eczema and usually will grow out of it when the reach adulthood. Eczema is basically starts with an itch that is continuous to the point where the individual will break the skin. This is a continuous cycle and can lead to severe cases where they may need to be hospitalized. Some common facts of eczema or the following.
To combat the issue of eczema is to use medication(learn more about applying on hand area). The level medication can be very strong like steroids but this is only if it is very very severe. A lot of sufferers will use some sort of cream to help relieve the itchiness and sometimes to help moisturise the skin. If it is mild, then lotions will do a pretty good job but you will need to test as there are many companies that have lotions that are catered to eczema. The most important part of testing is looking at the ingredients and if there is any negative reaction. A good tip is to try a small sample on the forearm and wait and see after 24 hours. If the skin is red and inflamed then you may be allergic to an ingredient. I would suggest you to write down ingredients in the cream and visit your dermatologist (info) or specialist which of the ingredients could be the culprit. This is important as you can systematically eliminate ingredients so the next time you can avoid this ingredient when you test the next cream. Overall I find that organic creams are the way to go but they issue is that they are very expensive especially if the to use a lot of it. Lotions are cheaper but they are only successful in milder cases of eczema I find. So be sure to go out and find your best lotions by testing.
