Atopic Eczema

What is atopic dermatitis?

Atopic dermatitis, also known as Atopic eczema, is a non-contagious skin disorder that manifests as an inflammation in the dermatitis (the uppemost layer of the skin). The inflammation often manifests as itching, dryness, blistering, scaly skin, and sometimes also bleeding. This condition usually appears on the face, scalp, neck, bend of the arm, back of the knee and bottom. Atopic dermatitis is commonly known as nappy rash. It is suspected to be genetically conditioned, meaning that it is hereditary. In conjunction with Atopic eczema, a clear pattern where the affected person also suffers from allergy/asthma has been observed. If you suspect that you have eczema, consult your physician for a diagnosis.

If the eczema is moist (weeping eczema)

At times, an eczema can be weeping and needs to be dried up. Then, we recommend using Aloe Vera Barbadensis solely. It can be used all over the body. Do not apply lotions or other creams that will make the eczema more moist.
