Atopic Dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic skin condition that causes skin redness, itchiness, and rashes. Although there is no known cause of atopic dermatitis, there are certain triggers that can make the condition worse. Triggers of Atopic Dermatitis

Stress: Stress can be a major trigger for atopic dermatitis. Stress can cause the skin to become inflamed and itchy, which can lead to flare-ups.

Environmental Factors : Allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold, can also trigger atopic dermatitis. Exposure to cold, dry air can also cause the skin to become dry and irritated.

Irritants : Certain chemicals and fabrics can irritate the skin and cause flare-ups. Common irritants include wool, detergents, soaps, perfumes, and solvents.

Infections : Bacterial or viral infections can also trigger atopic dermatitis.

Food Allergies : Certain foods can cause an allergic reaction in people with atopic dermatitis. Common food allergies include milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, and soy.

Hormonal Changes : Changes in hormone levels can also aggravate atopic dermatitis. This is especially true during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.

Although there is no cure for atopic dermatitis, there are many treatments available that can help to reduce symptoms and prevent flare-ups. These include topical creams and ointments, oral medications, and lifestyle changes. It is important to speak with a healthcare professional about the best treatment options for your individual situation.
