Allergic diseases are not uncommon today. Atopic dermatitis occurs in 3-30% of the world's population. And urticaria at least once in a lifetime has been in 15-20% of the population, and in 75% of cases it is in remission. In our publication, drugs for the treatment of allergic dermatosis will be considered, and we will also specifically analyze the effect of antihistamines in the treatment of this disease.

Treatment of allergies with drugs.

For the treatment of allergies, antihistamines are considered the most effective. Moreover, it should be noted right away that it is impossible to get rid of the very predisposition to allergies, it is possible only with the help of medicines to ease the symptoms of allergies. Before using any drug against allergy symptoms, you should first undergo an examination, and only after a doctor's prescription, take drugs under his control.

In order to get rid of allergies, it is necessary to limit contact with the allergen or completely get rid of it. In order to identify the allergen, special tests are carried out. For skin tests, special solutions are used from potential allergens: pollen, herbal extracts, insect venom, trees, food, animal epidermis, drugs.
Solutions are applied to the skin area, which is slightly scratched with a scarifier. In the presence of an allergy to any allergen, a small edema forms at the site of scarification. For the treatment of symptoms of allergic reactions, drugs of the first, second and third generation are used.

Drug contraindications.

Some first-generation drugs are able to inhibit the onset of nervous excitation in the autonomic ganglia and, due to the blockade of other types of receptors, can cause cocaine-like, local anesthetic and choline-like effects.

Taking "Promethazine" in large doses, arrhythmia and movement disorders similar to the manifestation of Parkinson's disease may develop. The disadvantages of antihistamines, which belong to the drugs of the first generation, include: tachyphylaxis, inconvenience of use, many contraindications.

Antihistamines

Antihistamines for the treatment of allergic dermatosis are contraindicated in children, as well as adults who, by the nature of their profession, are associated with driving vehicles, as well as workers whose type of activity is associated with high concentration and quick reaction.

Antihistamines intended for the treatment of second-generation allergic dermatoses (astemizole, loratadine, cetirizine, terfenadine) are not able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and have a sedative effect. The drugs have a high therapeutic effect, are not able to cause the development of tachyphylaxis. Antihistamines of the second order reduce the allergic reaction of the first and second phases and at the same time have a combined anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect. However, if the dosage is violated, side effects such as arrhythmia can be observed.

This circumstance was the reason for the improvement of second-generation antihistamines. At the same time, improvements were mainly aimed at the development of non-metabolizable H1 antagonists.

Improved drugs.

Improved drugs should have as few side effects as possible and have a pronounced antihistamine effect. In addition, such drugs should have a high pharmacological effect, which does not depend on the characteristics of the metabolism of an individual.

Allergic dermatoses (allergodermatoses) are called allergic skin diseases. Allergens, such as drugs, perfumes, foods, etc., affect human skin or enter the body. Signs of allergic dermatosis are itching, rashes, peeling, dryness, blisters, redness of the skin. In addition, with an allergic reaction to food, swelling of the tongue, lips, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can be observed.
Treatment of allergic dermatoses includes the following steps: hypoallergenic regimen, removal of acute manifestations of allergies and treatment that is not directed against the occurrence of relapses.

Preparations for the treatment of allergic dermatosis

Today, there are a large number of drugs for the treatment of allergic dermatosis, which are designed to reduce the acute symptoms of allergies. The advantage of modern antihistamines is high lipophilicity, which is expressed in a decrease in vascular permeability, a decrease in tissue edema. In addition, modern drugs reduce hyperemia and have an antipruritic effect.

One of the popular remedies for the treatment of allergic dermatoses is psilo-balm. This is an antihistamine gel intended for topical use.

The drug has a therapeutic and prophylactic effect, and also has an antipruritic effect, reduces tissue swelling and reduces capillary permeability.

One of the advantages of this drug is the absence of side effects, since the drug is applied topically.

The drug is prescribed together with the basic treatment. The complex of basic treatment includes sorbents, antihistamines and a hypoallergenic diet. The gel is applied topically several times a day in a thin layer.

But you should not use any drugs for the treatment of allergic dermatoses without consulting a specialist doctor. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to take tests, and only after examining a doctor, take the medication prescribed by him.

Skin diseases today are diagnosed in 25-30% of the population. Rash, blisters, redness, irritation of the skin are classified as a group of diseases that belong to allergic dermatoses.

Classification of allergic dermatosis

Diseases that belong to allergic dermatoses have similar manifestations and causes of occurrence, therefore. All of them appear on the skin of a person and bring discomfort. These include the following classification of allergodermatases:

• Dermatitis: contact and atopic. These diseases cause severe itching and redness in different areas of the skin.
• Eczema: seborrheic, true and microbial. Eczema is characterized by a skin rash of an allergic nature. Burning and inflammation on the skin are the main signs of the disease.
• Neurodermatitis. The disease is characterized by severe itching and redness on the skin.
• Hives. There are many types of this disease. Urticaria appears as a rash or blisters with severe itching. Complications can lead to angioedema.

Children's allergic dermatosis

The manifestation of skin diseases in children is observed due to a genetic predisposition. This may be the result of artificial feeding, frequent manifestations of acute respiratory infections and disorders of the nervous system.

Eczema, as well as neurodermatitis, are considered common allergic dermatoses among babies. These diseases appear at the age of 3 months to 2 years and may be the result of allergic diathesis.

Main features:

Dermatitis can occur with chronic relapses and have a hereditary allergic character. Rash, flaking and itching are the main symptoms of the disease.

The main factors in the development of allergic dermatoses:

• Food (milk, nuts, sweets, citruses);
• Chemical industry (soap, powders, perfumes, shampoos);
• The use of drugs.

If timely measures are taken regarding the treatment of allergic dermatoses in children, recovery will not take long. The main thing is to eliminate the allergen and reconsider the diet.

What are the manifestations of allergic dermatosis?

It is often difficult to distinguish the symptoms of allergic dermatosis, because they are similar between diseases that belong to this concept. Symptoms usually appear within 3 to 10 days after the person first comes into contact with the irritant or allergen.

The next time, during the illness, 2-3 days will be enough for symptoms to appear. The longer the skin is in contact with the irritant, the stronger the reaction can be.

Symptoms can range from mild to severe in the area of ​​skin that has come into contact with the allergen. They may include:

• redness and swelling;
• ulcers;
• Itchy blisters that may ooze fluid
• The rash may even be warm to the touch;
• Peeling of the skin.

The allergist will have to identify the development factor and determine the pathogenesis of allergic dermatoses.

How to treat?

Treatment of allergic dermatoses begins with the elimination of the pathogen. Combined treatment with home remedies can speed up recovery and relieve symptoms such as itching and redness. These include the following types of treatment:

If your allergic dermatosis is severe enough, your doctor may prescribe corticosteroid creams or ointments to reduce the inflammation. It is important to follow the directions of the medication because improper use can lead to more serious skin problems.

Along with corticosteroid treatment, your doctor may prescribe tacrolimus ointment or pimecrolimus cream (Elidel). These drugs do an excellent job with severe itching, redness and rashes.

Prevention

Together with the main methods of treatment of allergic dermatosis, prevention is an integral part of recovery, the main goal of which will be the complete isolation of the substance that causes the rash or other reactions. Review your diet and remove from it those foods that can provoke allergies.

If you know a substance that is a factor in the development of the disease, pay attention to the labels of cosmetics, powders, detergents and shampoos that will regularly be absorbed into your skin.

If you work in a chemical plant, you will need protective equipment such as gloves, shirts, masks to reduce the chance of exposure to the allergen. This may include:

• long sleeve shirts;
• use of good ventilation;
• use of protective creams;
• compliance with the rules of personal hygiene;
• proper storage of chemicals;
• using disposable paper towels.

If you cannot avoid substances that irritate the skin, wash the affected area immediately with warm water and mild soap.

Allergic reactions are a phenomenon that specialists of various specialties often encounter. Patients turn to therapists and pediatricians with symptoms of rhinitis and conjunctivitis, complain about disorders of the gastrointestinal tract to gastroenterologists, and especially often come to dermatologists with skin rashes. In allergic dermatoses, it is very important to correctly establish the nature of the disease, since the quality of pathology treatment directly depends on this. Today, on the site, read about the most effective methods for diagnosing and treating allergic dermatoses.

Effective methods of diagnosis and treatment of allergic dermatoses

Allergic dermatosis is a group of dermatological pathologies that are characterized by the development of an allergic reaction in the body, with the appearance of characteristic symptoms on the skin. Most often, patients complain about the presence of rashes on different parts of the skin, which are accompanied by itching.

It is far from always possible for a patient to indicate a previous contact with an allergen, and therefore it is very important for specialists to have the necessary knowledge that will help to correctly suspect and confirm the diagnosis, as well as effectively cure the disease.

Effective treatment of allergic dermatoses is possible only with a correctly established diagnosis, as well as an attentive attitude of the patient to his body.

Treatment of allergic dermatoses:

• diagnosis of allergic dermatosis: basic laboratory tests;
• treatment of allergic dermatoses: general recommendations for patients;
• drug treatment of allergic dermatoses: systemic and local therapy.

Diagnosis of allergic dermatoses: basic laboratory tests

Diagnosis of allergic dermatoses includes clinical and laboratory studies. Many diseases from the group of allergic dermatoses have such a characteristic clinical picture that a dermatologist can correctly establish a diagnosis already at the first appointment of a patient. It is confirmed with the help of immunological (serological) studies, which are necessary to clarify the allergen, the presence of cross-allergic reactions, as well as the severity of immunopathological disorders. The titer of specific antibodies of various classes, the relative and absolute number of leukocytes, as well as the level and ratio of T- and B-lymphocytes are determined. Sometimes skin allergic provocative tests, as well as smears and scrapings from the affected areas of the skin, can be performed.

Treatment of allergic dermatoses, first of all, implies a list of general recommendations for patients, which include:

• taking the necessary measures to eliminate repeated contact of the patient with the allergen;
• recommendations for the elimination of occupational hazards;
• avoidance of household contacts with sensitizers;
• treatment of chronic diseases, elimination of foci of infection and dysbiosis, which is necessary to reduce the load on the patient's immune system.

It is important to remember that only a qualified specialist can determine an effective drug treatment regimen for allergic dermatoses, and the exclusion of any contact with allergens is the main preventive measure for relapses of the disease.

Drug treatment of allergic dermatoses: systemic and local therapy

The treatment regimen for allergic dermatosis includes systemic and local use of various medications. In the acute stage of the disease, when wetting of the skin predominates, the patient may be recommended wet-drying dressings, after which various forms of agents with anti-inflammatory, regenerating and antipruritic effects are applied to the affected areas of the skin. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, antibiotics are prescribed. In the presence of widespread, severe and progressive rashes, glucocorticoid ointments may be prescribed. Systemic therapy includes antihistamines, crystalloid infusions, polyglucin, and gemodez, and systemic corticosteroid therapy may be indicated in severe forms.

Treatment of allergic dermatosis is a serious process that must be approached responsibly by both the doctor and the patient himself.

The disease often causes neurosis-like and insomnia disorders, therefore, the sooner the diagnosis is confirmed and treatment begins, the less harm the pathology will cause to the patient.

Allergic itchy dermatosis always has a characteristic symptom - negative symptoms on the skin. The defeat of the epidermis of various kinds develops under the influence of a certain stimulus.

It is important to know the causes of negative skin reactions, types of allergic dermatoses, effective methods for eliminating itching, rashes. For adult patients and parents whose children suffer from skin lesions, the advice of an allergist will help prevent dangerous reactions.

Reasons for the development of the disease

The main factor causing skin symptoms, the appearance of rashes, hyperemia, swelling, itching, is a negative response of the body to the action of internal and external stimuli. With a high sensitivity of the body, a small amount of the allergen is sufficient for the development of a dangerous reaction.

Contact with a certain substance triggers an immune response:

• histamine is released in large quantities;
• increased permeability of the vascular wall;
• allergens penetrate tissues;
• the work of the digestive system is disrupted, antigens accumulate in the body;
• puffiness develops, signs of allergic dermatoses appear on the body.

Substances and factors that provoke the development of allergic dermatosis:

• pollen of ambrosia, alder, birch, quinoa, poplar fluff;
• house dust;
• wool, saliva, dry excrement of cats, dogs, feathers and fluff of parrots;
• genetic predisposition to allergies;
• poison of stinging insects;
• highly allergenic products;
• sudden hypothermia or overheating of the body;
• household chemicals, cosmetic preparations;
• substances that irritate the skin for a long period. Production factors: contact with lubricants, oils, varnishes, paints, gasoline, solvents.

Allergic pruritic dermatosis ICD code - 10 - L20 - L30 (section "Dermatitis and eczema").

First signs and symptoms

Negative signs on the skin appear in mild, moderate and severe forms. Each disease has a set of characteristic manifestations.

The main types of epidermal lesions in allergic dermatoses:

• itching of problem areas;
• small red rash;
• erosion, weeping, wounds, sores;
• flaky areas;
• pustules;
• red spots (large or small);
• plaques;
• erythema (pink spots, often with swelling);
• purple-colored blisters, size - from 5 mm to 12-15 cm. With increased swelling, the problem areas brighten, the edges of the formations remain red;
• foci of atrophy (dead tissue) with a severe form of the disease, lack of treatment or prolonged use of hormonal ointments.

Types of allergic dermatoses

Allergodermatosis, accompanied by itching and skin reactions:

• atopic. Small rash, redness appears on the cheeks, chin, forehead, elbows, inner surface of the legs. After the opening of the bubbles, erosion and weeping are formed. Gradually, the reaction subsides, zones with crusts and active peeling appear. The active phase of the disease is accompanied by severe itching, the skin cracks, the patient experiences discomfort. occurs more often than in adults, especially in babies under one year old;
• contact form. Skin reactions are noticeable in areas of contact with the allergen. Rashes, itching, redness, peeling - the result of the action of household chemicals, skin care formulations, harmful substances;
• toxic-allergic. A severe form of an immune reaction with active rashes all over the body, with a sharp increase in temperature, the development of allergic inflammation. Severe itching provokes irritation, the patient combs problem areas, there is a high probability of secondary infection;
• "pregnant herpes" Allergodermatosis is not accompanied by the penetration of the virus. Itching, small vesicles, inflammation are characteristic signs of an allergic reaction. The reason is the body's response to hormonal fluctuations. "Herpes of pregnancy" occurs suddenly, after a couple of weeks the symptoms disappear without consequences for the mother and fetus. To exclude dangerous diseases, a woman should visit a dermatologist and an allergist;
• erythema. The main symptom is the appearance of pink spots on the body. Education is noticeable one or more. Sometimes the spots rise above the skin, resemble large blisters, as with, but the shade is not purple, but pinkish.

Diagnostics

If you suspect the development of pruritic dermatosis, the patient should visit a dermatologist. The doctor will clarify the nature of the reaction, the frequency of occurrence of negative symptoms.

Prohibited names:

• fatty milk;
• cocoa beans in any form;
• seafood;

Medical therapy

Therapy of diseases accompanied by skin reactions includes a complex of drugs:

• for oral administration. Allergy pills suppress the release of histamine, reduce the strength of allergic inflammation, and prevent relapses in the chronic form of the disease. With a lightning reaction, classic compositions (1st generation) are used:,. In the chronic form of allergic dermatoses, drugs of new generations with a delicate effect are prescribed:, and others;
• non-hormonal local formulations to eliminate skin reactions. Effective gels, creams and with anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, wound healing action. The preparations dry the epidermis, reduce painful, reduce swelling of the epidermis, prevent secondary infection in severe forms of allergic dermatosis. Skin-Cap, Bepanten, Psilo-balm, Desitin, La Cree, Vundehil, Solcoseryl, Fenistil-gel, Gistan, Protopic, Epidel;
• hormonal ointments and. Glucocorticosteroids lower the local activity of the immune system, prevent the production of inflammatory mediators, and stop allergic inflammation. Potent agents are prescribed only for severe reactions for a short period (up to 10 days). For adults, drugs are suitable: Prednisolone, Hydrocortisone, Advantan, Elokom, Lokoid, Flukort, Sinaflan, Gistan N;
• tablets and solutions for injections that reduce the sensitization of the body. The compositions reduce the permeability of capillaries, prevent swelling, strengthen the immune system, and ensure the supply of useful trace elements. , sodium bromide, calcium gluconate, ascorbic acid;
• . Oral administration of tablets, hydrogel, suspensions with active adsorbing properties cleanses the body, prevents further penetration of antigens into tissues. Removal of irritant molecules reduces the strength of skin reactions, speeds up recovery. The best option is the use of sorbents with high absorbency. Modern means: Multisorb, Laktofiltrum, White coal, Smecta, Karbosorb, Enterumin;
• soothing ingredients. Itching is one of the unpleasant signs of allergic dermatoses. In the chronic course of the disease, the patient becomes irritable, suffers from insomnia. To normalize the state of the nervous system, non-addictive drugs are prescribed: Novopassit, Karvelis, valerian tablets, motherwort tincture, a decoction of mint, lemon balm, a soothing collection of medicinal herbs.

Folk remedies and recipes

To reduce the strength of negative symptoms in allergic dermatoses, remedies based on medicinal plants are suitable:

• Decoctions for oral administration. The compositions cleanse the body, show a weak anti-inflammatory effect. Components: sprigs of viburnum, elecampane and burdock root, mint, nettle,.
• Therapeutic baths. Herbs: string, sage, chamomile, mint, yarrow, calendula. Useful oak bark;
• Lotions with decoctions from medicinal plants listed in paragraph 2.
• . Dissolve a small amount of mountain resin in water, take daily for 10 days. For a year - 4 courses.
• . Washed, dried, peeled from films, grind the natural product from a raw egg to a powder state, mix with lemon juice. Take with a negative reaction to food,.

For symptoms and treatment of toxic-allergic dermatitis in children, read the address.

There are also nuances:

• up to 6 or 12 years is prescribed in the form of syrup and drops;
• a decoction of a string can be drunk only from the age of three, before only baths and lotions are allowed;
• should include names that ensure the full growth and development of the child. Even from a limited list of products, parents can prepare healthy meals;
• it is important to minimize the influence of harmful factors, if it is impossible to fulfill this condition (the effect of cold, sun, strong wind), protect the baby's skin.

Prevention of negative reactions to an irritant includes several areas:

• limiting contact with substances / natural factors that cause damage to the epidermis against the background of an immune response;
• strengthening of protective forces, hardening;
• proper nutrition, a minimum of highly allergenic foods in the diet;
• treatment of chronic diseases;
• control of the state of the digestive tract, timely treatment of intestinal infections;
• limiting contact with irritants, using quality body care products, ditching powders in favor of gels.

Allergodermatosis in adults and children can be cured after timely diagnosis, the appointment of complex therapy. Skin reactions accompanied by itching require attention: advanced stages negatively affect the general condition of the body.

After watching the following video, you can find out more interesting details about the symptoms and treatment of itchy allergic dermatoses:

An allergic reaction is a phenomenon that occurs as a result of a malfunction of the immune system. It is not yet completely clear why the body can perceive proteins that are harmless to human health as a danger and produce antibodies aimed at destroying them.

The consequence of this process is an inflammatory response: mast cells, or mast cells, sensitive to IgE immunoglobulins, release histamine and heparin into body tissues, which leads to redness, itching and other characteristic symptoms.

Moreover, some of them, such as spasm of the smooth muscles of the bronchi and a sharp swelling of the mucous membranes, pose a threat to life.

The skin and mucous membranes are especially rich in mast cells. So Allergic dermatitis is one of the most common forms of allergies..

The mechanism of the development of the disease

Allergic dermatitis in its clinical picture differs little from dermatitis caused by other causes. Not in all cases, it manifests itself immediately after contact with the substance that caused the immune reaction.

Often it takes 7-10 days for allergic dermatitis to develop, therefore, the exact causes of skin itching, redness, the appearance of bubbles are not always possible to find out quickly enough.

The fact that allergic dermatitis does not occur immediately after the body's response to an irritant is due to the peculiarities of the late immune response. Inflammation is caused not by the reaction of mast cells to antigens, but by the work of lymphocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, neutrophils - cells that destroy damaged tissues and foreign proteins that migrate to the focus of a mild early immune response. This takes at least a few hours, and more often - a few days.

The first contact with the allergen usually goes unnoticed by the patient., but upon subsequent contact, sensitized (acquired sensitivity) leukocytes recognize it, which leads to the manifestation of painful symptoms. It is interesting that some substances are not allergenic in themselves, but, when combined with blood proteins, they provoke an immune reaction.

Varieties of allergic dermatitis

Experts distinguish the following types of allergic dermatitis:

• Phytodermatitis. This is a reaction to irritants of plant origin. The sap and pollen of plants, the smallest particles of aromatic substances that give the flowers a smell, often become the reason why allergies develop. The most dangerous plants in this regard are birch, alder, hazel, poplar, many cereals, starting with foxtail and ending with timothy, weeds, which include wormwood, quinoa, ragweed.
• contact dermatitis. It leads to contact with the skin of a variety of chemical compounds. Allergens can be found in cosmetics, clothing materials, and even urban smog. Often, allergic contact dermatitis is called "housewife dermatitis", because in many cases it is caused by household chemicals - washing powder, soap, dishwashing detergent.
  
  

  Another common cause of contact dermatitis is nickel., a metal widely used in jewelry, zippers, rivets and other clothing items. Its most exotic species is the caterpillar - a reaction to touching the caterpillars of certain species of butterflies, such as the oak silkworm.

• Toxidermia- a reaction that occurs when allergens enter the body through the respiratory tract or the gastrointestinal tract. Very often it is caused by medicines and food. Diathesis, which so often occurs in children with the beginning of the transfer from breast milk to good nutrition, and usually disappears with age, is one of the varieties of toxidermia. In some cases, food allergy symptoms also appear in adults.
• Lyell's syndrome, also known as acute skin necrolysis - one of the most formidable varieties of allergies, along with and bronchial asthma endangering the health and life of the patient. In most cases, it develops after taking medications and differs significantly in its clinical picture and course from the usual allergic dermatitis. In Lyell's syndrome, from 20 to 90% of the body of an allergic person is covered with a papular (blistering) rash, the vesicles merge and break through, forming extensive weeping ulcers, the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and genitals exfoliate, and conjunctivitis develops. This process is accompanied by fever and fever, nausea and vomiting, general deterioration .
  

  Often a bacterial infection joins the process, which can lead to septic shock. Up to 60% of patients die

  To relieve severe inflammation, corticosteroid-based ointments may be required: Advantan, Elidel and their analogues. Long-term use of such drugs is dangerous, therefore it is not recommended to use them for more than 5 days in a row. They have a large list of contraindications and side effects, so if possible, it is better to do without hormonal drugs.
  

  Of course, like any other type of allergy, dermatitis requires the use of antihistamines. New generation drugs, such as Erius, Zirtek, are devoid of unpleasant side effects in the form of drowsiness and concentration problems, which were often caused by medications that were common in the recent past.

  However, they should not be taken without the appointment of a specialist. Only a doctor can choose the most suitable drug for each specific case..

  A patient diagnosed with allergic dermatitis it is important to rid yourself of contact with the allergen: change cosmetics, start using a softer washing powder, choose new clothes made from natural materials. If microscopic dust mites acted as an irritant, you should give preference to pillows and blankets stuffed with sintepukh, and regularly wash them, and, if possible, remove furniture and interior items that collect dust from the house.

  Allergic reactions caused by food require a diet. It is necessary to find out what kind of food causes a rash on the skin, and eliminate it from the diet.

  The list of most often provoking dermatitis products includes:

  • Citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines, grapefruits;
  • Nuts - hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, peanuts;
  • Coffee;
  • Chocolate, especially bitter;
  • Strawberry;
  • Eggs (and often a person with intolerance to chicken eggs can easily eat duck and quail eggs);
  • Sea fish and seafood;
  • red meat;
  • Legumes - beans, peas, lentils, fava beans.

  List of food allergens - photo

  It is also recommended to avoid fried, smoked, salty foods., food, which contains a large amount of food colors, flavors, flavors and preservatives. Before cooking, it is advisable to soak the cereals for 10-12 hours, pour fresh vegetables and fruits with boiling water, and boil the meat thoroughly.

  Dieting also requires allergic dermatitis, which causes nickel. This metal is rich in many products from the list above, as well as seeds, buckwheat, oatmeal, tomatoes, millet.

  In Lyell's syndrome, patients are hospitalized in the burn unit and injected with large doses of methylprednisolone and antihistamines. Symptomatic treatment is also necessary in the form of intravenous infusions of saline to prevent dehydration, irrigation of ulcerated skin and mucous membranes with astringents and disinfectants. Accession of a secondary bacterial infection requires antibiotic therapy.

  Allergic dermatitis in children

  
  Like adults, children can suffer from allergic skin reactions to medications, household items such as latex nipples, rubber toys, and food.

  The two most common forms of allergic dermatitis are:

  • Exudative diathesis- swelling, redness and peeling of the skin on the forehead, cheeks, chin. The affected areas are very itchy, because of which the child’s sleep is disturbed, he becomes capricious, eats poorly and develops.
  • baby eczema- red inflamed papules on the face and skin of the hands, easily bursting and merging into weeping islets. They are also accompanied by the development of edema and itching.

  Food allergies are most common in young children due to the immaturity of the immune system and digestive tract, so they are not advised to give potentially dangerous foods until they are at least 3-4 years old. Often this condition provokes dysbacteriosis.

  The use of many drugs such as all drugs based on corticosteroids, undesirable in childhood. Therefore, it is very important to protect him from exposure to allergens so that the symptoms of the disease pass as quickly as possible and stop annoying the little patient. If nipples or toys are the cause, they will need to be replaced.

  Careful hygiene and keeping the house clean is very important, because often skin manifestations are caused by an allergy to dust mites. Pillows and blankets stuffed with synthetic down, frequent thorough washing of clothes at a temperature of at least 50 degrees, replacing carpets with linoleum will help to reduce their number to a minimum.

  
  

  If infant formula is allergenic, then it should be replaced as soon as possible with a special hypoallergenic food: Pregestemil, Frisopep, Nutramigen. The proteins in cow's milk are already broken down into amino acids. Breast milk can also be replaced with this food if its components cause allergic dermatitis. For children who cannot consume any dairy products, there are soy-based mixtures: Alsoy, Izomil, Nutri-soy and others.

  Like adults, children are prescribed antihistamines: Suprastin, Zirtek. Ointment Bepanten accelerates the regeneration of the skin and is allowed even for the smallest patients as a symptomatic treatment.

  To relieve the skin itching that accompanies allergic dermatitis, and to dry weeping inflamed rashes, you can turn to traditional medicine. A decoction of oak bark, string, bay leaf, strong tea leaves will help improve skin condition.

  Preventive measures

  Having dealt with what allergy dermatitis is, having considered the symptoms and treatment, it is worth saying a few words about prevention.

  • Mothers should not eat foods during pregnancy can potentially cause allergies. Otherwise, the child may be prone to painful reactions to food from birth.
  • If one of the parents had a reaction to a certain allergenic product or drug, you should not use it to feed or treat a child: very often heredity plays a role in the development of the disease.
  • You should not unnecessarily protect the child and keep him in sterile conditions, otherwise, his immune system will react to all unfamiliar stimuli with a painful reaction. But infection with helminths in the first years of life, dust in the house, contact with potentially allergenic substances will lead to the same result. Therefore, neglecting cleanliness and personal hygiene is also in no case impossible.

  Like any other chronic disease, allergic dermatitis requires long-term, often lifelong treatment. However, properly selected medications, adherence to the lifestyle prescribed by the doctor, and, if necessary, diets, will allow you to forget forever what constant skin itching and irritation is.
