What is neurodermatitis?

Neurodermatitis (also atopic dermatitis and atopic eczema) is a chronic skin disease that occurs in episodes. It leads to an insufficient formation of the skin's naturally protective layer.

 

 

What symptoms indicate atopic dermatitis?

  • Very dry, scaly skin, sometimes with tense sensations
  • Moderate to severe itching
  • Local infections (as a result of scratching)
  • Reddening of the skin as well as gradually thickening, leathery skin structure, sometimes with deeper skin furrows (chronic lichenification)
  • Typically affected areas of the body in babies and young children: Scalp, cheeks, neck, elbows, back of the knees, hands, belly
  • Typically affected body regions in adults: Hands, crook of the elbow, back of the knee, eyes

Causes and course of neurodermatitis

Neurodermatitis usually begins in infancy. It is not uncommon for the extreme manifestations to diminish with the onset of puberty. However, as it is a chronic disease, the skin remains dry, sensitive and in need of care throughout life.

The skin tends to react to a variety of stimuli with eczema and acute flare-ups. These alternate with relapse-free phases:

  • Periods without relapses: The skin is "merely" dry and irritated, possibly also slightly scaly.
  • Acute phases: The skin shows eczema, is inflamed and itches. Often there are also Blisters appear, which can ooze after bursting.

Relapses can be promoted by various triggers. The duration of a flare-up is individual and can vary from several days to several weeks. In the case of acute flare-ups, you should consult your dermatologist in order to tailor an individual therapy to your current skin condition.

The right skin care for neurodermatitis

In addition to the triggers mentioned, skin care also has a strong influence on the development and duration of acute relapses.

  • Frequent contact with water and warm water remove additional oil and moisture from the skin.
  • Numerous cleansing products and cosmetics contain (potentially) skin-irritating ingredients and thus further irritate the skin.

The primary goal is to regenerate and stabilise the skin barrier. This begins with gentle cleansing, which should not further dry out the skin and at the same time have a soothing and moisturising effect. The subsequent care should be rich in high-quality lipids (fats) as well as anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredients.
