What does atopic dermatitis mean

summary

Recently, I found that the skin of a female colleague in the company is really getting worse and worse, always red. As I have a good relationship with her, I asked her what's the matter and suggested that she go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. She told me that this is atopic dermatitis, which is hereditary. Today I'm going to talk to you about what heterotopia means.

What does atopic dermatitis mean

First: atopic dermatitis is a kind of allergic skin disease with genetic tendency. Most of the patients are caused by repeated attacks of infantile eczema. 70% of the patients have a history of genetic allergy such as allergy, asthma or allergic rhinitis in their families, so they are also called atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis, genetic allergic dermatitis, prurigo, generalized neurodermatitis, etc.

Second: infantile eczema, also known as infantile eczema, usually occurs in the second or third month after birth. It has also been reported that it occurs in the second or third week after birth. However, it is difficult to diagnose at this time. Skin lesions mainly occur in the cheeks, forehead and scalp. Individual cases can develop to the trunk and limbs. The skin rash can be divided into two types: exudative type and dry type.

Third: in childhood, 80% of the patients were before 5 years old. The skin lesions were divided into eczema type and prurigo type. In youth and adulthood, the main manifestations were chronic lichenized skin lesions, mostly on the head and face, neck and elbow and knee flexion side, symmetrical distribution, obvious pigmentation, obvious scratch, white skin scratch positive.

matters needing attention

Atopic dermatitis is different from other types of dermatitis, because atopic dermatitis is usually hereditary. Therefore, for the sake of future children, we should also treat atopic dermatitis as soon as possible. When you get atopic dermatitis, be prepared to fight it for a long time.
