Atopic dermatitis, also referred to as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with the following clinical features:

    • Dry skin with itch
    • Red, inflamed skin
    • Flare-ups of eczema

    It is caused by a combination of genetic factors, environmental influences, immune dysfunction, dietary factors, or alterations in the microbiome.

    The focus of the treatment is:

    • Repairing the skin barrier
    • Controlling inflammation
    • Controlling internal triggers (e.g., diet, gut health)
    • Preventing flare-ups

Factors Affecting Atopic Dermatitis

  • Genetics

If there is a family history of eczema, asthma or allergies, the chances of developing atopic dermatitis are increased.

  • Skin Barrier Dysfunction: Impaired function of the skin barrier may lead to:
  • Loss of moisture
  • Entry of irritants, allergens, and microbes
  • Dysregulation of the Immune System: Overactive immune function provoking inflammation leading to flare-ups.

Environmental & Lifestyle Factors

  • Allergens: Dust mites, pet dander, pollen
  • Harsh products: Soaps, fragrances, and the use of inappropriate products
  • Environmental extremes: Cold, dry air, or heat
  • Stress & Sleep Deprivation
  • Dietary Factors: Dairy, gluten, others, processed foods, and food additives
  • Dysbiosis of the microbiome (e.g., gut and skin)
