1.  What is Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)?

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It often starts in childhood but may persist or even begin in adulthood. Eczema is often linked to genetics, immune dysfunction, and environmental triggers.

2. Signs and Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis

• Persistent Itching: Often worse at night
• Dry, Scaly Skin: Especially on the face, elbows, knees, neck, or hands
• Red or Inflamed Patches
• Thickened or Cracked Skin (with long-term scratching)
• Fluid-filled Blisters or crusted sores in severe cases
• Recurring Flare-ups triggered by weather, stress, or allergens

3. Causes and Triggers of Eczema

• Genetic Predisposition
• Weakened Skin Barrier: Leads to moisture loss and increased sensitivity
• Immune System Imbalance: Overreacts to harmless substances
• Environmental Factors: Dust, pollen, pet dander, soaps
• Dietary Allergens: Dairy, gluten, nuts in some individuals
• Emotional Stress
• Climate Extremes: Cold, dry air or excessive sweating

4. Common Types of Atopic Dermatitis We Treat

• Infantile Eczema: Appears in babies, often on cheeks and scalp
• Childhood & Adolescent Eczema: Elbows, knees, neck, hands
• Adult Eczema: Persistent or new-onset skin irritation in adults
• Hand Eczema: Due to frequent washing or chemical exposure
• Lichenified Eczema: Thickened skin from repeated scratching

5. Differential Diagnosis

It’s vital to differentiate eczema from other conditions like psoriasis, fungal infections, seborrheic dermatitis, or contact dermatitis. At CureYou, we provide an accurate diagnosis for targeted and effective treatment.

6. Can Eczema Be Prevented or Managed?

While not always preventable, flare-ups can be significantly reduced through:

• Regular moisturizing and gentle skin care
• Avoiding triggers (soaps, allergens, hot water)
• Wearing soft, breathable clothing
• Managing stress and anxiety
• Using mild, fragrance-free products

7. Dietary Recommendations for Atopic Dermatitis

A clean, anti-inflammatory diet supports skin healing:

• Avoid: Processed foods, artificial additives, excessive dairy or gluten (if sensitive)
• Include: Omega-3s (flaxseeds, walnuts), Vitamin E (almonds), Vitamin C (citrus), Zinc (seeds, legumes), and probiotics (curd, kefir)
• Stay Hydrated: Drink enough water to maintain skin moisture
