Avoiding Atopic Dermatitis Flare-Ups

Eczema, also known as Atopic Dermatitis, is a difficult condition to live with. It seems as if once one flare-up is healed and gone, another one pops up. Especially during certain times of the year, it can be very uncomfortable and like an endless cycle of itching, creams, and relief. If you are looking for ways to avoid getting eczema flare-ups altogether, there are certain things you can do to prevent them from happening. Keep reading for ways to avoid eczema flare-ups, including how an Atopic Dermatitis Clinical Trial might be your best answer.

Identifying and Avoiding Your Triggers

With atopic dermatitis, one of the many things that can cause a flare-up are certain triggers. The tricky thing is that everyone has different triggers, so it takes some detective work and note-keeping to see what yours might be.

We don’t know what exactly causes eczema (often known as its most common form, atopic dermatitis). The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) describes atopic dermatitis as a complex skin disease caused by an interaction between a person’s environment and their genes. People with eczema tend to have an overactive immune system that responds to topical irritants or allergens by producing inflammation.

Some examples of common eczema triggers include:

• Dry skin
• Hand soap
• Dish soap
• Laundry detergents with fragrance
• Shampoo with fragrance
• Bubble bath with fragrance
• Body wash with fragrance
• Perfume
• Surface cleaners and disinfectants
• Juice from fresh fruit, vegetables, or meats
• Stress
• Tight clothing
• Dust

Eczema can affect anyone at any age, but it is often quite common in young children. When young children have eczema, family history is almost always the cause. Even if eczema doesn’t run in the family, genetics could still be at play; children who have family members with hay fever, other allergies, or asthma are at risk, too.

Using The Right Lotions and Soaps

One of the best ways to avoid eczema flare-ups is to make sure you’re using the right lotions and soaps. One of the most common eczema flare-up triggers is shampoo, body wash, perfume, laundry detergents, and anything else that has added fragrance.

Your best bet is to use soaps and lotions that do not contain added fragrance. Fragrance-free options are usually available in most major brands. Some companies, such as Aveeno, Eucerin, or Cetaphil, make body washes and lotions specifically for people who suffer from eczema. Make sure you look for labels that say “fragrance-free,” “for sensitive skin,” or “for eczema.”
