Emotics in atopic dermatitis in children - detailed information

Maternal happiness is often overshadowed by problems with the health of the baby. After all, still not strengthened organism crumbs are so vulnerable to factors provoking various diseases. And not the last place among them in terms of prevalence is atopic dermatitis. This ailment of an allergic nature is manifested in children in 3 - 4 months, and after reaching the age of 3 years it comes to naught. However, neglect of treatment can lead to the development of chronic form, which will bother the child and after growing up.

Therapy, which includes a diet, is designed to fight the allergic reaction from the inside, while the elimination of its external symptoms is the task of the emotions.

What is the emotion of

This seemingly abstract word from ordinary lifeThere are quite familiar things to everyone. For example, olive oil and sunflower oil, as well as paraffin and petroleum jelly are representatives of simple emotions.

Thus, this term combines fats and similar substances that prevent the weathering of moisture from the skin surface and thus have a softening effect.

Emotilents penetrate into the veil no further than the epidermis, leaving intact deeper cells, which in principle excludes any side effects. The result of their application is the improvement of elasticity and a lower susceptibility to drying and inflammation.

Important! Emollients produce results only in combination with other therapeutic measures.

Means based on emollients supplement auxiliary ingredients responsible for softening, eliminating flaking, itching and redness.

Frequency of application

The instruction accompanying the products says that the drug should be used twice a day after hygiene procedures, in the morning and in the evening. And many parents, following these capacious instructions, achieve the removal of symptoms of irritation, but at the same time the skin of the baby remains excessively dry.

Charges to the manufacturer here will not be appropriate, since they, in addition to the standard dosage, also indicate that the frequency of applications can and should be increased in the absence of progress.

Atopic dermatitis affects the skin of every child differently, and therefore it is necessary to find an individual approach to its treatment with emollients. Usually, the drug is consumed intensively in the first week, as the proper treatment should be repeated daily up to 4 times( up to 6 times as prescribed by the doctor).Later this amount can be reduced to two uses.

Important! The termination of the course due to extinction of external signs of the disease is a gross mistake. This change does not mean an unconditional victory, because it's too early to give up the drug.

Apply the product twice, if bathing takes place in the evenings, and 3 times in the afternoon wash.

We use emulsifiers correctly

Emollients are extremely effective in helping children atopic dermatitis. Thanks to the ability of emotive means to restore the water balance of the epidermis and to heal its surface, the child quickly recovers and, more importantly, experiences less discomfort.

Important! The product manufacturing technology eliminates flavoring and coloring components, which reduces the risk of allergy to a minimum. But to speak about the absence of such a probability is not necessary: ​​if after application of the cream there are obvious signs of an inadequate reaction of immunity, then it is necessary to postpone the drug and find a replacement for it. In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a cosmetic product, you should first consult a dermatologist.

The content of emollients and other components varies with respect to the manufacturer, as well as the form of release. This allows you to choose the optimal solution for each individual case of children's atopic dermatitis.

The localization of a problem primarily affects what the preferred drug turns out to be:

1. If the areas within the face oval are affected, then you should lean towards the use of milk or emulsions in which the specific percentage of emo- lents is high enough to apply a concentratedhit the focal point of the disease.
2. When the wounded areas are scattered all over the body of the baby, it is most reasonable to resort to skin treatment with creams or ointments.

Of course, you will not make it worse by taking a less suitable form instead. But it will still affect the time that will take the treatment.

Important! Do not overdo it with respect to the daily dose: like any medicine, emollient drugs can harm with too frequent and abundant applications. The daily number of procedures should remain within 4 repetitions. Exceeding this figure is possible only on the instructions of a specialist.

The best time to tap into emotions comes at a time after bathing, as the skin-suffers from the child's skin is saturated with water. The cream or its analog is applied to a clean, carefully rubbed delicate towel surface and forms a thin coating, preventing moisture from escaping.

It is impossible to derive the universal standard of weekly spending of emo- lents. However, on average, for 7 days, 150 to 250 milliliters should go.

In the niche of agents against external manifestations of atopic dermatitis, you can find different prices.

Important! Guided by the criterion of cost when buying them fraught with inefficiency of therapy. Such savings are unlikely to give positive changes, especially at the first stages of the disease, during which it is particularly severe.

Later the transition to cheaper products is quite acceptable.

• milk;
