Spring has arrived and nature is starting to reveal all its beautiful colours. Days are bathed in sunshine and everything is beginning to bloom. Atopic dermatitis patients<\/strong> mostly look forward to spring days, as spring sweeps away troublesome winter months and brings about sunny weather with temperatures neither too warm nor too cold. The majority of people with atopic dermatitis experience noticeable alleviation of their symptoms, but unfortunately this isn\u2019t the case with everyone. The awakening of nature with flowers, bushes, trees and grasses in bloom is a huge challenge for many, as inhaled allergens are potent triggers of atopic dermatitis<\/strong>. It\u2019s also important to keep in mind that \u2154 of atopic dermatitis patients suffer from hay fever and \u2153 (according to some data even 50%)<\/strong> develop asthma<\/strong>. Below I will provide a few steps you can take to control your atopic dermatitis flare-ups and allergies in spring.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As a rule, antihistamines have no impact on the itch in atopic dermatitis patients<\/strong>, but they are essential in fighting allergies. At this time of the year, the air is full of pollen, which causes hay fever and skin rashes due to allergies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Allergic reactions that occur due to exposure to inhaled allergens are important triggers of atopic dermatitis<\/strong>. Thus it is sensible to use antihistamines<\/strong> in spring in the form of tablets and\/or eye drops. Ask your doctor to prescribe you antihistamines in the form of single-use liquid-filled capsules, as these contain fewer preservatives. If you have problems with allergic rashes, you can also ask for an antihistamine preparation for local skin treatment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Atopic dermatitis is a disease that requires a lot of care, adaptation and planning. Skin care with atopic dermatitis is different from each individual, the response to irritants, the time of year, the outside temperature, and so on. The advice I can give you regarding skin care is to listen to yourself and your child<\/strong>. Just because something suits the skin of your acquaintance or the skin of her child does not mean that it will suit you or your family member.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Take care of your skin regularly by applying skincare products that suit you or your child best. To soothe inflamed skin, keep your creams in the refrigerator<\/strong>. Because the temperatures are on the rise and you will begin to sweat more, the creams you use should be lighter but still nourishing. If you notice that your cream doesn\u2019t suit you anymore, has lost its effect or even worsens your symptoms, think about replacing it. Winter skincare can be stressful for your skin and it might get \u201ctired\u201d of the products that you have been using on it for so long.<\/strong> The cream no longer successfully soothes your skin and even deteriorates its state. In this case, stop using the cream for a certain period of time (e.g. half a year) and try to find another suitable product. Apply zinc cream (not ointment) onto the red and inflamed skin. In the evening, you may also apply a skincare cream on top of the zinc cream layer. To calm the itch, keep your bedroom temperature down to 19 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Skincare products on skin are magnets for pollen and other environmental irritants. After returning home from outdoor activities, clean your skin with a cotton towel and lukewarm water.<\/strong> This will allow you to remove irritants from it. Apply your creams again. If itching occurs, calm down and give the skin the time it needs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hair is often a source of irritation<\/strong> for atopic dermatitis patients. Because we usually don\u2019t wash our hair daily, pollen and other environmental irritants deposit in it. If you have short hair, wash it daily. If your hair is long, wash it more frequently than usual. Use mild hair care products that don\u2019t irritate the scalp. Atopic dermatitis<\/strong> patients may also experience irritation from hair falling on their face<\/strong>, which is why they should keep it in a ponytail. I also recommend the use of hair bands made from cotton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Atopic dermatitis patients are locked in an eternal struggle<\/strong> with red, itchy and weeping eyes.<\/strong> Eyelids may become sticky, there is a feeling of sand in the eyes or the eyes may begin to ooze pus. Allergic conjunctivitis<\/strong> occurs very often in people with atopic dermatitis as a result of allergic reaction to air allergens. What can we do about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
