A 24-year-old female employee suffered from atopic dermatitis.
When the patient went to the doctor, he said that if he was stressed in his teens, the symptoms would be more severe and the condition would occur repeatedly, both for good and bad, and there would be itching in many parts of the body. When she was an adult, the most severely affected area was her neck and neck, which still made her so itchy that she could not sleep. Long-term scratching of the skin caused pigmentation and she was covered with long hair for a long time. However, due to the fluttering hair, her neck and neck were even more itchy. Recently, I came to the clinic for diagnosis and treatment.

Divide by drug treatment to alleviate good lifestyle habits can cure the root cause
Since her skin has already been inflamed, in addition to the standard topical ointment and oral medications to relieve the symptoms of itching, she is also advised to pay attention to skin hydration and to adjust her daily routine to reduce the possibility of relapse.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease.In addition to congenital causes, external stimuli can also easily lead to deterioration of the skin condition. In addition to dry skin due to insufficient water-retaining ingredients in the stratum corneum of the skin, patients are more prone to bacterial skin infections and are also easily stimulated by allergens in the environment, which can easily cause itching and inflammation. , and evolve into eczema.
When the skin exhibits the symptoms of eczema and cannot be metabolized normally, the skin dysfunction causes intense itching, and repeated itching thickens the skin, deepens wrinkles and pigmentation.
Atopic dermatitis has several predilection sites in different age groups. The first onset of most patients is approximately 3-6 months after birth. The lesions often extend from the face to the trunk and limbs. Continued exudation of tissue fluid and scabs, discomfort often makes the baby cry, sleepless nights.
After childhood or adolescence, due to hormones affecting the constitution or changes in the living environment, the flexion of the limbs or face and other parts will be dry and sensitive, and it is easy to have repeated wet diagnoses.
Typical injuries in adult patients include: sweat accumulation points such as the neck, elbows, knee sockets and other curved skin folds, as well as repeated sweat herpes on the soles of the hands and feet. Many atopic dermatitis patients fail to sleep well due to severe itching on the skin, resulting in an inability to concentrate during the day and ultimately poor study and work performance, which dramatically impacts quality of life. There are also some patients who are ostracized by their peers due to repeated skin scratching, which leads to psychological problems.
There are many similar cases of atopic dermatitis in dermatology clinics, from infants to adults and even the elderly. Drug treatment is only part of it, which can relieve discomfort, allow patients to sleep better and improve their quality of life. .
The most basic way is to have good lifestyle habits, use proper moisturizing products, proper clothing and bedding, and reduce the possibility of exposure to allergens. Only by avoiding the irritants that worsen the condition of the skin can atopic dermatitis be prevented.
