The instability of the intrinsic environment such as chronic digestive diseases, mental stress, insomnia, excessive fatigue, emotional changes and other mental changes, as well as infectious lesions, metabolic disorders and endocrine dysfunction, can trigger or aggravate the condition of atopic dermatitis.  There are also many external factors that contribute to the occurrence of allergic dermatitis. These include factors such as diet, inhalants, climate, and exposure to allergens.
