DRY, IRRITATED + ECZEMA-PRONE
DRY SKIN WITH ATOPIC ECZEMA
Atopy is an abnormal predisposition to developing allergic reactions. Atopic dermatitis, or atopic eczema, is the skin’s response to atopy—a chronic inflammatory condition that progresses in flare-ups. It is manifests as red patches accompanied by intense itching, set against a background of persistent dry skin (xerosis).
For eczema-prone skin, the skin barrier is compromised due to a decrease in essential lipids, which normally keep skin cells cohesive. This results in increased trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) then makes the skin even more permeable to allergens and irritants. Once these penetrate the epidermis, they trigger an inflammatory reaction, leading to the characteristic symptoms of eczema.
Atopic dermatitis primarily affects infants and children, though it can persist into adulthood. It commonly appears:
On rounded areas of the face in infants
In the folds of the knees and elbows in children
On the eyelids in adults
