Atopic Dermatitis

Frequently Asked Question 

RSS Feeds   Text 
Which doctor should I consult if i have atopic dermatitis?
You have to consult a dermatologist for your problem.

This condition is said to be associated with allergies, can certain foods be the cause?
Yes. Some foods may provoke attacks, especially in infants and young children. But eliminating them rarely will bring a cure, though foods such as cow's milk, eggs, fish, wheat, peanuts and other foods that are suggested by your dermatologist can be avoided at least for one to two weeks on a trial basis.

Very good information here! One thing I never understand is why blog posts and articles about atopic dermatitis always list the back of the knees and inside the elbows as common locations, but never mention the front of the knees and outside the elbows which is where members of my family most commonly have atopic dermatitis flare ups. I found another good article on this topic: Atopic Eczema
