DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS

How Dermatologists Diagnose Atopic Dermatitis

In dermatology clinics in London, the dermatologists diagnose atopic dermatitis (AD) by carrying out a physical examination of the skin to check for the presence of a rash. The dermatologists also ask some questions to know if the skin itches, if there is a person in the family that has AD, asthma or hay fever and other important facts.

There are times when the dermatologist London may carry out a patch test to check for the presence of allergies. This test is done by placing a little amount of allergy-causing substance (allergens) on the child skin and notice for a reaction. Results are usually being collected after every 24 and 72 hours. Researches have shown that some of the used allergens worsen AD.

Possible Outcome

According to researches, when AD is formed in infants or young children, the condition usually gets better or disappears completely by the age of 2.

About 50% of the childhood cases of AD will continue until adulthood, but the disease usually becomes milder when a child becomes an adult.

It is not possible to detect if AD will ever go away or stay forever, so it is safer to use the available treatment to relieve the discomfort and prevent the condition from worsening.
