This is due to the fact that the skin's own bacterial diversity is disturbed and reduced, making it easier for bacteria to establish themselves.

At kindergarten age, skin irritations occur in typical areas such as the back of the knees, elbows and wrists. As these areas are located on parts of the body that are often bent, these symptoms are also known as flexural eczema. These rashes are very itchy, causing children to scratch at them, which can lead to repeated inflammation. In some children, the rashes heal and do not return for the rest of their lives. In others, the symptoms remain absent until puberty and reappear later in life. Atopic dermatitis can also occur in adulthood, with the rashes being concentrated on the eyelids and neck.

Another chronic skin disease is Rosacea. It mainly affects the face and causes redness on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Rosacea rarely causes itching, but rather burning, nodules and stinging, which distinguishes it from neurodermatitis.

FAQ: Questions and answers about neurodermatitis

Are there different types of atopic dermatitis?

Yes, there are two different types of atopic dermatitis. The extrinsic form is more common and occurs in around 80% of cases. People suffering from this type are very sensitive to allergens due to the hypersensitivity of their immune system. In the intrinsic form, allergic reactions do not play such a major role. In this case, the antibodies in the blood are not actually elevated and yet the typical skin rashes appear.

Can atopic dermatitis also occur in children?

Yes, atopic dermatitis can also occur in children and infants. In fact, children make up the majority of atopic dermatitis sufferers in Germany. Approximately 13 percent of children and only around 3 percent of adults suffer from the skin disease. In infants, the rashes are located on the cheeks and head, while in children they are usually found on the elbows, wrists and backs of the knees. Cases of the disease are on the increase, which is probably partly due to the fact that parents are becoming more aware of the symptoms. On the other hand, care products and hygiene are becoming more important and more intensive, so that there is more irritation for the skin.

Can atopic dermatitis be cured?

No, unfortunately atopic dermatitis is not completely curable. The chronic disease lasts a lifetime if, for example, it does not heal itself in childhood. However, with the help of today's treatment methods, a largely symptom-free life is possible. Another piece of good news is that atopic dermatitis is not contagious. Unlike other skin diseases such as chickenpox or Shinglesatopic dermatitis is not transmissible via physical contact or in any other way.
