I. Do I need long-term medication for atopic dermatitis? The principle of treatment for atopic dermatitis is to restore the normal barrier function of the skin, to find and remove triggering and/or provoking factors, and to reduce or relieve symptoms as the main objectives. The long-term management and education of patients with atopic dermatitis is an important and worthwhile topic. After active treatment, atopic dermatitis requires long-term maintenance therapy to control disease flare-ups. Daily skin care requires the use of emollients, which are an important step in ensuring moist skin. 3. Due to the side effects of hormonal drugs, long-term continuous use of treatment is generally not recommended. Only use them when the disease flares up, stop them when the disease is stable, and then use them until the relapse again. 4. Due to the safety and effectiveness of calcium phosphatase inhibitors, and without the side effects of hormonal drugs, they can be applied in the management of long-term maintenance treatment of atopic dermatitis. Second, what is the frequency of atopic dermatitis medication with emollient agent use? First of all, dry skin is one of the diagnostic criteria for atopic dermatitis, so daily use of emollients is essential. Different types of emollients can be chosen for different seasons. In winter, you can use emollients that are stronger in oil, and in summer, you can use emollients that are a little thinner or weaker in oil. If some patients have recurring episodes and more frequent attacks, they can be treated with topical medications that are safe and effective and can be used for a long time. After the disease is controlled, long-term maintenance therapy is used twice a week to reduce the frequency and severity of recurrence. Calcium phosphatase inhibitors are not associated with the skin atrophy and capillary dilation associated with hormonal drugs. What should I look for in the home care of a child with atopic dermatitis? Atopic dermatitis is a long-lasting, relapsing disease that is also seasonal in nature. The main clinical symptom of atopic dermatitis is itchy and dry skin, and the dryness of the fall and winter months can easily trigger the disease and make it worse. The daily use of emollients is very important and essential to prevent atopic dermatitis in autumn and winter, and the skin must be kept moisturized during the course of medication. There are many varieties of emollients available, and it is advisable to choose a hypoallergenic emollient. Some emollients contain fragrances, which are best avoided by people and patients who are allergic to fragrances. Theoretically, any emollient can be used, but try to choose a hypoallergenic emollient. Parents should be aware of the nature of the disease and that over-treatment and abandonment of treatment are incorrect attitudes. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic and recurring skin disease, so it must be treated with patience and confidence. The actual fact is that you will need to consolidate your treatment after the disease is controlled. The actual fact is that you will not be able to get rid of this disease forever after the disease is cured, once you have the conditions and factors to develop, you may still develop it later. Bathing is very important. Many parents feel that this skin disease can not take a bath, afraid to take a bath, can not take a bath with soap, long-term use of soap, how to wash off the top of the skin dirty things? General soap or bath products are now acid-based, and even soaking baths, bathtubs inside the bath can be washed every day, there is no problem. But after washing must immediately apply moisturizer or moisturizer to the child. The moisturizer should generally be chosen without irritation to children, moisturizer moisturizer inside try not to contain preservatives or fragrance ingredients, the simpler the composition the better, so that after moisturizing treatment in many cases children’s symptoms, especially itchy symptoms will be reduced or even relieved. If there is itching children always to scratch, then to provide some sedative drugs. Of course, we must be alert to some adverse reactions, what adverse reactions in time to communicate with the doctor, if there are adverse reactions can be promptly discontinued, generally after the discontinuation of many of these adverse reactions can be alleviated. If the rash is not effectively controlled, you can use some hormonal drugs or non-hormonal drugs for treatment. In addition, in addition to life care, parents should learn to psychological conditioning. Parents must have the right mindset, because since the child has the disease is a fact that can not be avoided, you need to face this reality, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, the correct skin care for the affected child. After the disease is controlled and relieved, the growth and development of the child will be improved. Parents pay attention to but do not discriminate against this disease, and with a positive and sunny attitude towards it, the child will also be more positive and pleasant. What are the precautions in autumn and winter? Emollients are necessary for the dry autumn and winter seasons. In addition, most of the patients with atopic dermatitis are children aged 5-6 years old. Parental care and disease management should play a leading role, and mental factors may have a relevant role in the development of atopic dermatitis. There is a correlation between children with atopic dermatitis and allergens, and not every allergen can be detected, so it is recommended to try not to have pets in the house, as cat and dog hair are allergens. Try to avoid carpets in the house, which often hide fungi. Try to avoid going to environments with more pollen. Other patients are allergic to food. First of all, it should be clear which food you are allergic to, not that you don’t eat anything once you have allergy symptoms. For example, every time you drink milk, your atopic dermatitis worsens. This time you drink milk, your condition worsens, and after you stop drinking milk for a while, the next time you drink milk, your condition worsens again. This is the time to consider whether milk is an allergen and whether you need to drink less milk or even avoid it. If the last time you drank milk you had a serious attack, but this time you don’t have any symptoms, it may not necessarily be related to milk, but there may be a connection between the last attack and other factors. Of course, the care of family members is also an important aspect for patients. Parents often come to the hospital complaining about the lack of effective treatment. But parental care and management of the child also play an important leading role.
