Allergic dermatitis

Allergic dermatitis, or diffuse atopic dermatitis, is equally found in both men and women.

Of the total number of all cases of referral to a dermatologist, allergic dermatitis is approximately ten to twenty percent. Most often, the disease affects infants and children of preschool age, and subsequently the probability of the disease decreases.

According to studies, more than half of all patients suffering from allergic dermatitis, the first manifestations occur before the age of one year, and in about ninety percent of cases, allergic dermatitis first makes itself felt at the age of five. Significantly reduced risk of disease after the onset of thirty years of age. Cases of the disease in this case are recorded mainly in places with unfavorable climate or environmental conditions. Allergic dermatitis can affect any surface area of the skin, including the face. The main symptoms of this are itching and skin rash. The factors that can provoke allergic dermatitis, a great many, the most common of these include food, plant pollen, cosmetics and household chemicals, various drugs, etc.

Causes of atopic dermatitis

The cause of the development of atopic dermatitis is a hypersensitivity of the organism of a delayed type, manifested in response to contact with an irritant. T-lymphocytes are of primary importance in the development of allergic dermatitis, before the first allergic manifestations take place, as a rule, for at least two weeks after contact with the allergen. For people with existing allergies, this period is reduced to three days. This is the main difference between allergic dermatitis and immediate allergic reactions. The development of atopic dermatitis may be influenced by genetic factors, poor ecology, emotional disorders. The reasons for the development of atopic dermatitis include the direct contact of the skin with a substance that causes hypersensitivity. At the moment there are more than three thousand. They are divided into plant-derived allergens, metals and metal-containing substances, medicinal allergens, preservatives, etc. The risk of developing allergic dermatitis increases in the presence of skin lesions.

[10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]

Is allergic dermatitis transmitted?

There is no single answer to the question whether allergic dermatitis is transmitted. However, many researchers consider the genetic factor to be one of the causes of allergic dermatitis. There is an assumption that patients suffering from allergic dermatitis, have congenital hypersensitivity and a tendency to irritation of the skin. Allergic dermatitis is not a contagious disease and cannot be transmitted from a sick person to a healthy one.

[16], [17], [18], [19]

Symptoms of atopic dermatitis

With such a disease as allergic dermatitis, the symptoms are in many ways similar to the manifestations of acute eczema. At the initial stage, rather large red spots are formed on the skin, on the background of which small blister formations subsequently form. As a rule, there are quite a lot of them, and after their emptying, traces remain on the skin, and scales and crusts may appear. Their bulk is usually concentrated in places of direct contact with the allergen. But since the disease affects the entire body as a whole, secondary foci of damage can be located elsewhere. As a rule, it is a small swelling, redness, blisters, etc., accompanied by itching.

Allergic dermatitis in adults

Allergic dermatitis occurs for the first time, usually at an early age and is accompanied by itching and rash. Allergic dermatitis in adults occurs in an acute form, regardless of the fact that the allergen is constantly in the body. The severity of allergic dermatitis in adults depends on age factors, environmental conditions, etc.

[20], [21], [22], [23], [24]

Allergic dermatitis during pregnancy

In women with allergies, allergic dermatitis during pregnancy can regress due to the production of cortisol in the body of pregnant women, which can inhibit allergic reactions. After the onset of labor, its level decreases sharply and the symptoms of the disease recur. But such a course of the disease during pregnancy is far from always observed, in some cases, pregnancy can trigger an increase in allergic symptoms. If, before the onset of pregnancy, a woman did not suffer from allergies, then against the background of the hormonal restructuring of the body, reducing its protective functions and nervous states, its initial appearance during pregnancy is possible.

[25], [26], [27], [28], [29]

Allergic dermatitis in children

Allergic dermatitis in children is considered to be very common. This is primarily due to insufficient formation of the immune and digestive systems, as well as the inability of the liver to sufficiently process harmful substances, as a result of which an allergic reaction develops.

Allergic dermatitis in children is manifested by swelling, itching, blistering and red spots on the surface of the skin. Due to skin irritation, the child begins to scratch it, as a result of which crusts form, giving the child a lot of inconvenience, causing irritability and discomfort. Allergic manifestations may occur on the forehead, on the cheeks, on the arms, legs, head. At an older age may be localized to the elbow bends.

[30], [31], [32]

Breast children

Allergic dermatitis in infants can develop both with artificial and with natural feeding. It is believed that the basis of this disease is genetic predisposition. In turn, food can provoke its development, problems with emptying the intestines, excessive sweating, excessive dryness of the skin, exposure to it of various chemicals. According to studies, allergic dermatitis often occurs as a result of a negative reaction of the body to milk, egg, fish, and soy protein. Unbalanced nutrition of the mother during childbearing, the use of highly allergenic foods, poor diet, as well as various risks and difficulties during pregnancy can contribute to the development of allergic dermatitis in infants. There is also an assumption that the risk of allergic dermatitis is elevated in children who are overnourished, because the body may show a negative reaction due to constant overfeeding. Concomitant diseases such as intestinal dysbiosis, infection with worms, gastritis, also play a role in the development of allergic dermatitis. The most common symptoms in infants of dermatitis are dry skin and the formation of diaper rash, scaly skin, redness and itching on the cheeks.

Allergic dermatitis in newborns is most often the result of unbalanced, abnormal or highly allergenic nutrition of the mother during pregnancy. The main symptoms of atopic dermatitis in newborns are redness on the cheeks, a rash and itching. This disease can occur in a newborn baby as well in cases where the pregnancy has proceeded with complications. Allergic dermatitis in newborns can occur with artificial feeding, as well as with breastfeeding.

The affected area may include various areas of the skin of the legs - thighs, legs, and feet. Contact with irritating clothing can provoke allergies on the legs, and the constant rubbing and scratching of the affected areas leads to the formation of secondary lesions - cracks, scratches through which microbes can penetrate, resulting in the risk of inflammation. When an infection is introduced, treatment with antibiotics can only exacerbate the situation, since many of them are allergens. That is why to prevent the development of complications should avoid combing the skin and the appearance of damage. Such factors as food, fungi, bacteria, plant pollen, adverse environmental effects, etc. Can also cause allergies on the legs.

[63], [64], [65], [66], [67]

Allergic dermatitis on the head

[101], [102], [103]

Professional allergic dermatitis

Professional allergic dermatitis is included in the group of skin diseases developing under the influence of chemical substances. This group is quite extensive and includes epidermite, contact dermatitis, oily folliculitis, toxic melasma, professional ulcers and warty formations, eczema, etc. The only occupational allergies of infectious nature include erysipeloid. In addition to chemical and infectious, there are also factors of physical and parasitic effects on the skin. Occupational epidermis occurs as a result of prolonged exposure of the skin to water, cutting fluids, organic solvents, and weak acid and alkaline solutions. Symptomatology of the disease includes a sharp drying of the skin, its peeling, damage in the form of cracks, mainly in the forearm and hand regions. Severe inflammation and infiltration of the skin are absent. With professional contact dermatitis, an acute inflammatory process occurs on the skin surface due to direct contact with a production irritant. Erythema, edema, vesicular and blistering formations with serous or bloody-serous composition appear at the site of the lesion. The patient feels a burning sensation in the affected area, there is pain, less often itching. General signs, as a rule, are mild or not expressed at all. The more powerful the action of the stimulus, the more pronounced the symptoms of the disease. When the exposure to the stimulus is stopped, signs of inflammation subside quickly enough and the skin regains its normal appearance. Professional contact dermatitis usually occurs within a short period after contact with an irritant and is concentrated in the area of its impact on the skin. With the development of occupational allergic dermatitis, as a rule, a hidden period is first noted, which should be borne in mind when making a diagnosis. In many cases, with occupational allergic dermatitis, the irritant provokes inflammation after repeated exposure to the skin.

Oily folliculitis appears on the surface of those skin segments that are in contact with cutting fluids, engine oils, distillates of coal tar, oil and shale, kerosene, gasoline, and other hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon-containing substances. Mainly, the lesions are localized in the forearm and hand regions, as well as on the skin of the thighs, abdomen, etc. In the places of contact of the stimulus with the skin comedoons and acne are formed.

[104], [105], [106], [107], [108]

Neuro-allergic dermatitis

Neuro-allergic dermatitis is an inflammation of the surface layers of the skin, associated with its hypersensitivity to the effects of internal or external stimuli. Contribute to the development of neuro-allergic dermatitis can stress, diseases of the endocrine system, gastrointestinal organs, weakened immunity. As a result, an inadequate response of the immune system to the effects of various external and internal factors. Treatment of neuro-allergic dermatitis in each case individually, but the general recommendations include strengthening the immune system of the body, exclusion from the diet of highly allergenic products, as well as limiting water procedures. Reception of vitamin-mineral complexes and carrying out physiotherapeutic procedures in coordination with the dermatologist is possible.

Food allergic dermatitis

It is believed that more often than other factors, food causes the development of allergic dermatitis. That is why in the event of such a disorder as allergic dermatitis, a therapeutic hypoallergenic diet is necessarily prescribed. However, it should be borne in mind that factors such as the state of the nervous system, genetic predisposition, structural features of the skin, hypersensitivity to any other substances are also involved in the development of such diseases as food allergic dermatitis. Food allergies can develop with the use of any product, most often it is different proteins, less often - fats and carbohydrates.

Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis

Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis usually does not cause any difficulties and is based on a full-time examination of the patient’s skin doctor. To specify the diagnosis, allergy tests are also carried out, with the help of which they directly determine the irritant that caused the allergic reaction. For an allergy test, solutions of the most common allergens and sterile water are injected into the patient with a syringe under the skin. With the introduction of a substance to which the patient is allergic, the skin at the injection site swell and redden. There are no side effects at the site of water injection Allergic tests can be carried out only after the removal of all skin lesions and signs of allergies. Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is most often carried out on the basis of an on-site examination of the skin by a dermatologist, as well as a comprehensive examination, which includes a number of procedures, such as a study of the level of immunoglobulin E, skin biopsy (in case of development of an atypical allergic reaction). In the course of the diagnosis, the patient is also given a blood biochemistry test, a lipidogram (a blood test for cholesterol), a hemistasiogram, the determination of markers of systemic inflammation.

[126], [127], [128], [129], [130], [131], [132]

Treatment of allergic dermatitis

Treatment of atopic dermatitis is aimed primarily at completely limiting contact with the allergen. With the development of an allergic reaction to relieve itching, you can use the cream skin cap.

Treatment of atopic dermatitis in adults

The treatment of atopic dermatitis in adults is characterized by a wider range of therapeutic agents as compared to the treatment of dermatitis in children. Treatment of dermatitis can be effective only in case of complete exclusion of contact with the allergen. Of great importance is also a hypoallergenic diet, which excludes products to which allergic reactions occur most frequently. Treatment for allergic dermatitis in adults is divided into external and internal, which are most often used in the complex. For ingestion during the development of allergic dermatitis, antihistamines are prescribed - suprastin, claritin, loratadine, etc. For external treatment, ointments and creams, both hormonal and non-hormonal, are used to treat dermatitis. It should be borne in mind that wetted areas should not be wetted and treated with soap; it is necessary to protect the skin from exposure to cold, wind, friction and other injuries.
