Atopic Dermatitis

Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic Dermatitis affects 15 million people and is usually accompanied by asthma and hay fever. The symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis vary from person to person but generally include itchy, dry skin, a red or pinkish colored rash, thickening of the skin, cracks behind the ears; and rashes on the cheeks, arms, and legs and in some cases scarring of the skin. Scratch marks are often seen, along with scaly dry skin. The extreme itchy sensation causes an itch-scratch response - the more it itches, the more you scratch, the more you scratch, the more it itches.

The symptoms of atopic dermatitis can be altered by the itch-scratch response pattern, which can result in red, scaling skin. It may also develop into a condition known as lichenification in which the skin develops a thick and leathery surface as a result of constant scratching and rubbing. Lichenification also known as neurodermatitis may appear as small and flat areas called plaques of various sizes, 1 to 10 inches in diameter. These areas have definite margins that have become thick and assume a leather-like or lichenified appearance. Lichenification may occur when something such as a tight garment rubs or scratches your skin. This irritation may lead you to rub or scratch your skin repeatedly. Common locations include ankles, wrist, outer forearm or arm, and the back of your neck.

Another result of the cycle of itching and scratching is the development of small raised skin bumps or papules on the skin. If the papules are scratched, they may open and become crusty and infected. When these papules occur in the facial area they appear as a reddened face with paleness around the mouth, darkened circles under the eyes. The skin may become infected and show yellow crusts or little, pinpoint, pus containing bumps. These bumps may be confused with rosacea , a chronic inflammation of the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, or eyelids. Rosacea differs from Atopic dermatitis in that the onset of the condition is usually when one is over 30, and the increased prominence of the blood vessels or spider veins in the skin.

Atopic dermatitis may also affect the skin around the eyes, eyelids, eyebrows and lashes of the eyes. Scratching and rubbing the eye area can cause the skin to change in appearance resulting in the development of an extra fold of skin under their eyes, called an atopic pleat or Dennie-Morgan fold. Others may develop hyper-pigmented eyelids, meaning that the skin on their eyelids darkens from inflammation or hay fever (allergic shiners). Patchy eyebrows and eye lashes may also result from scratching or rubbing.

Severe atopic dermatitis can also cause eye complications, which may lead to permanent eye damage. When these complications occur, itching in and around the eyelids becomes severe. Signs and symptoms of eye complications also include blepharitis - which causes eye watering and inflammation of the eyelid. The lining of the eyelid may also be affected resulting in a condition known as conjunctivitis or pinkeye. These ocular symptoms can be very similar to ocular rosacea. Because dermatitis and rosacea can occur together it's important to be able to distinguish whether your facial skin condition is atopic dermatitis or rosacea.

Causes of Atopic Dermatitis

The inflammation of atopic dermatitis is caused by too many reactive inflammatory cells within the skin. It is unknown what causes these cells to over-react. But it appears people with Atopic dermatitis are born with this genetic trait, which causes the over-reactive cell response. When something triggers or stimulates this over-reactive response, the body lacks the ability to turn off or control the response.

People who live in urban areas and in climates with low humidity seem to have an increased risk for developing atopic dermatitis. Factors that can cause Atopic dermatitis include soap, harsh chemicals, heat and humidity, stress, foods such as eggs, milk, wheat, soy protein, shell fish or peanuts. Deodorant soaps, all natural soaps, makeup, cream or lotions often contain ingredients, which can cause an atopic dermatitis response. Inhalant allergens such as house dust mites, pets, pollen and cut grass are also triggers that can cause inflammation resulting in atopic dermatitis.

Other common causes of Atopic dermatitis include dry skin. The skin's main function is to provide a barrier against dirt, germs and chemicals from the outside. We don't notice this barrier unless it gets dry, and then it's scaly, rough and tight. Dry skin is brittle - moist skin is soft and flexible. People with Atopic dermatitis have a defect in their skin and it won't stay moist. It is especially bad in winter when the heat is on in the house causing the air to become drier. Bathing in very hot water, which strips the skin of it's protective moisture layer, also causes dry skin.

People with atopic dermatitis often notice that they itch when they get hot. They have a type of prickly heat that doesn't occur just in humid summertime but any time they sweat. It can happen from exercise, from too many warm bedclothes or rapid changes in temperature from cold to warm.

Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis

Controlling Atopic dermatitis can be managed through avoidance of those things or events, which trigger the itch-scratch response. Maintain the proper pH balance in the body. This will strengthen the immune system, which will help to control the reactive itching response. When the immune system is weak or compromised we are more susceptible to allergens and the factors that cause Atopic dermatitis.
