The most effective treatment of atopic dermatitis - in addition to the avoidance of personal triggers - is the very regular skin care dar. There are no general recommendations as to which specific product for which the severity of atopic dermatitis is most appropriate.
And that is precisely the main difficulty. The decisive criterion for selecting a product is that it should be adapted to the current skin condition and the climate. In winter, more preferably fatter ointments, creams or lotions in the summer easier.
The basics of applying lotion
Basically: "wet" on moist (= weeping) skin, "Grease" on dry skin. The various products according to the principle of "care-triangle" (see illustration) are divided. On some products you will find names such as O / W (= oil in water, little oil in water, lotion / cream) or W / O (water in oil, little water in a lot of oil; Cresta / ointment). Belongs to which category the drug to some extent, one can also find very easily when you try to stir the product into a glass of tap water. The easier it is distributed in the water, the higher the initial water content and the lower the fat content.
Our recommendations for the treatment of skin:
Wash your hands before applying lotion.
Reapply at least once or twice daily.
Remove the cream from the pans with a spatula or spoon to use the cream and remove debris from the cover or thread.
Reapply the body as follows: Begin at the belly, go over the arms, down to the legs. Then the head until creamed and finally the buttocks.
With severe symptoms, you carry out the healing ointment (containing the active ingredients), then on the cream.
Wash your hands after application of essential drugs with corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors hands first, before other parts of the body lotion.
The graduated plan
To assess the skin condition known as a phased plan can be used. The graduated plan consists of three levels and is divided into three colors green, orange and red. A general product recommendation is not possible because the products may vary according to individual tolerability and skin type.
