Atopic Dermatitis Treatment And Its Permanence?
Posted by: Alan in Atopic Eczema, tags: Atopic, Dermatitis, Permanence, Treatment
I’ve had Atopic Dermatitis (some form of Eczema?) for a few years now and it’s really hurting my self-esteem, but my mom refuses to take me to a dermatologist and learn more about it and how to treat it. So..
I read in a lot of places that Atopic Dermatitis has no cure. Is this true? If it gets treated, is it at least not visible on the skin?
Is there a certain specific product that I should look into about treating this? How long will it take?
If I treat it, will I have to continue buying and using that product or can I keep it away by precautions in diet, moisturization, etc. etc. ?
Sorry about all the questions, but I’m really bad at using the internet and I don’t know anyone with this condition. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello there. Let me guess: you are under 16 years old. Look: 15% of children (teens included in the category) have eczema (atopic dermatitis is another name for eczema) and only 1-2% of adults.
Chances are that your skin gets clear on its own when the time comes. Don’t fret about it in the meantime.
Keep your skin moisturized, avoid hot showers/baths (they dehydrate the skin), avoid household chemicals and perfumed soaps/shampoos.
If push does come to shove, you may also want to try anti-eczema cream by Champori – it worked on my eczema like a clockwork.
Cheers,
Stella
