TREATMENTS FOR ITCHY SKIN
Atopic Dermatitis is a type of eczema known as the “itch that rashes.” Between 10-20% of people in the world are affected and, in most cases, it develops very early in life.
In young children, atopic dermatitis presents with itchy, red, scaling patches on the scalp and on the cheeks. By adolescence, eczema tends to move to the inner arms and the back of the knees, but can also affect other areas of the body. In adulthood, atopic dermatitis looks like dry, thickened, scaly skin.
While the cause of atopic dermatitis is not known, several factors are known to trigger or make it worse. In some children, for example, flares of eczema can occur after ingestion of specific foods. Other possible triggers include irritating soaps or detergents, wool clothing, jewelry and perfume. Atopic dermatitis tends to occur in people who are also prone to asthma and hay fever.
