Good to know

How to choose an emollient?

"Atopic person's skin should not be dry even for a minute!" — all adult patients and parents of children suffering from atopic dermatitis know that. Therefore, the skin needs to have special moisturizing and softening cosmetics – emollients – applied very often. But pharmacies sell a whole lot of creams, lotions, and gels that promise to moisturize the skin. How and what to choose?

How to properly dose topical corticosteroids

It is known that the main method of treating atopic dermatitis is the use of Topical Glucocorticosteroids (TCS) – hormonal drugs in the form of ointments or creams. For skin inflammation, it's essential to rely on these topical treatments. Especially during flare-ups of the disease, TCS can effectively and swiftly address the inflammation.

Personal treatment plan for atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis manifests uniquely in each individual. As such, both skin care and treatment require a personalized approach.
Atopic patients must use specialized cosmetics for a long time, such as soap, shower gel, emollient, soothing cream. During an exacerbation they should apply specific medications to different affected areas of the skin.

How to properly apply creams and ointments to atopic skin

Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease that requires consistent care. During remission, it's crucial to frequently apply emollients (moisturizing and softening creams) to uphold the skin's protective function. However, during exacerbation phases, cosmetic products alone may not be sufficient for areas with inflammation, necessitating the use of medicated creams or ointments.

The Protective Role of the Skin's Acidic Environment

Our skin possesses a protective water-lipid barrier, which comprises secretions from both the sebaceous and sweat glands. This barrier is home to skin-related microorganisms that defend against infections — and they thrive in an acidic environment!

Understanding Wet Wrap Therapy for Itching in Atopic Dermatitis

Wet Wrap Therapy is a potent method designed to enhance the skin's condition in individuals suffering from skin diseases that manifest with itching. This therapy offers relief by calming itchy skin, moisturizing it, and guarding against nighttime scratching.

Understanding POEM: A Tool for Atopic Dermatitis Assessment

Managing a chronic disease often presents challenges in gauging the effectiveness of various treatments, and atopic dermatitis is no exception. Those affected routinely engage in multiple daily practices: using specialized skincare products, applying emollients, avoiding certain triggers, performing regular household cleaning, and applying prescribed treatments, among other tasks.

Managing Sleep Challenges in Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis, commonly characterized by severe skin itching, frequently leads to sleep disturbances, particularly during flare-ups. Sleep disruptions in children with this condition not only impact their well-being but also affect the overall quality of life for the entire family.

Supporting a child with Atopic Dermatitis at school

Many people aren't familiar with atopic dermatitis (AD), but those who deal with it know the challenges it brings. This is especially true for school kids with AD and their parents.

TREATMENT OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS IN A CHILD

Symptoms of atopic dermatitis usually appear on the skin of children under one year old. In the chronic course of the disease, parents are the main allies of the doctor: by consistently following all the doctor's instructions for treatment and care of atopic skin, they achieve high efficiency of therapy. In AtopicSchool, you will receive complete information that will help you better manage your child's AD and confidently cope with exacerbations.
