  1. Atopic Dermatitis & Natural Management Presented by Dr. Sahil Gupta

  2. Introduction Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes itching, redness, dryness, and irritation. It is most common in children but can affect people of all ages. The condition is linked to a weakened skin barrier and an overactive immune response, making the skin more sensitive to allergens and irritants. 2

  3. Causes & Risk Factors Genetic Predisposition: Family history of eczema, asthma, or hay fever increases risk. Mutations in the filaggrin gene weaken the skin barrier. Immune System Imbalance: An overactive immune system triggers inflammation, causing redness and itching. Environmental Triggers: Pollution, allergens (dust, pollen, pet dander), and weather changes (dry air, heat) worsen symptoms. Lifestyle Factors: Stress, unhealthy diet (dairy, gluten, processed foods), and harsh skincare products can trigger flare- ups. 3

The major symptoms include, Pruritus (Severe Itching): Persistent and intense itching, often worsening at night. Skin Changes & Cracks: Dry, scaly, and cracked skin, commonly affecting the forehead, elbows, and neck. Keratosis: Thickened, rough patches of skin due to chronic inflammation. Rare Swelling: Mild swelling may occur in some cases, but is uncommon.Exudation Exudation: In severe cases, fluid may ooze from cracked or inflamed skin. 4
