---|
여름철은 상대적으로 건조함이 덜하기에 아토피 피부염도 호전될 거라 생각되지만 땀과 체내 분비물, 노폐물 등이 뭉쳐 피부에 자극이 되어 오히려 심해지는 경우가 많다. 주증상이 가려움증이라 무더운 여름철 계속적으로 흘리는 땀으로 인해 밤새 긁다 보면 잠을 설쳐 불면증까지 유발하기 십상이다. 무엇보다 지속적인 관리가 중요한 아토피 피부염인 만큼 적절한 관리를 통해 불면증 없는 여름을 보내보자.
As summer is less dry relatively, we may think that atopic dermatitis become better, but the skin can be irritated due to sweat, body secretion, and waste materials, which condition become severe in many cases. The main symptom is itchiness, so if you scratch itchy areas overnight due to sweat during the hot summer, you may sleep badly, making you suffer from insomnia. If you take good care of atopic dermatitis constantly, you can spend your summer time without insomnia. Cleanness is fundamental to take care of atopic dermatitis. Keep your body clean, so you should minimize the contact with any other bacteria or alien substance to irritate the skin. However, excessive care for cleaning, frequent showers, and inappropriate care can make the skin dry, which can worsen atopic dermatitis. Even during the hot summer, it is good to limit the number of taking a shower as one time in the evening. Take a shower with lukewarm water within 5-10 minutes. Alkali soap in the markets makes the skin irritating and dry, so it is good to use sub-acid soap or soap-free one that has little amount of a surface active agent, and a moisturizing cleanser. And it is good to wash out carefully so that the remainder of soap cannot be left. Atopic dermatitis causes infection with bacteria easily, and dermatitis by irritants, and as the skin is dry, dermatitis such as itchiness or dry eczema often occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize irritating the skin and to take care of the skin with moisturizer carefully. Particularly, in case of severely itching areas, it is good to apply oisturizer carefully. The biggest characteristic of those who suffer from atopic dermatitis is lack of ceramide, the natural ones of layers of hard skin. Ceramide plays very important role for moisturizing the skin, so it is important to supply the skin with ingredients of ceramide. Therefore, it is effective to use moisturizer containing sufficient ceramide and natural moturizing factors like lacticacid and urease. In case of atopic dermatitis, if you apply any intment after making a self-diagnosis, the skin condition can become worse. If skin has any problem, apply an appropriate ointment after consulting a doctor certainly. In case of those who suffer from atopic dermatitis have been bitten by insects or worms, the areas may be accompanied with a secondary allergic reaction. If it is not accompanied with the allergic reaction, the condition can become better only with ointment, but in severe case, it is necessary to take medicine for anti-allergy. In case of children who are sensitive to itchiness, if the condition is neglected as it is, secondary severe infection with bacteria can occur. So if the skin condition does not become better, it is advisable to consult a doctor immediately.
