Atopic Dermatitis - How to prevent?

Atopic Dermatitis - Causes and Risk Factors

Environmental

Changes in climate
House dust mites/ dusty environments
Heat, sweating
Smoking
Strong soaps, detergents, bubble baths
Pets, carpets, stuff toys

Infections

Flu, upper respiratory tract infections
Skin infections (eg. Staphylococcus aureus, herpes simplex virus)

Insect/mosquito bites
Vaccinations (However, we do not advise avoiding your child's vaccinations.)
Stress
Scratching (itch-scratch cycle)
The role of food allergy in triggering AD is controversial.

If there is suspicion of a food allergy worsening your child’s AD, discuss this with your doctor, who will determine if further testing or referral to a paediatric allergist is warranted.
