Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic skin inflammation that affects about a quarter of the child population. It typically is resolved by adolescence, but sometimes it persists into adulthood, presenting itself differently than it does in childhood. It has been observed that new cases appear starting at the age of 50, even in individuals who did not exhibit atopic symptoms during childhood. Aging is associated with a reduction in the skin's barrier function. Additionally, innate immunity, which protects the skin from external irritants, appears to decrease. The elderly are often on multiple medications daily to treat or prevent age-related conditions, and these medications can contribute to skin dryness as a side effect.
All forms of Atopic Dermatitis are characterized by dry skin, loss of elasticity, redness, and itching. In all cases, the consistent use of highly moisturizing and lipid-replenishing dermatological products can alleviate and reduce skin discomfort, providing greater well-being. The guidelines for treating Atopic Dermatitis in adults and the elderly recommend starting with daily cleansing that respects the natural hydrolipidic barrier, using specific dermatological cleansers. Hydration is restored through the application of hyper-moisturizing and lipid-replenishing creams specific to each body area: face, hands, feet and body. It is also better to avoid fragranced products that can irritate the skin which is weakened by Atopic Dermatitis.
