These factors may trigger atopic dermatitis

A predisposition to atopic dermatitis is often genetic and frequently occurs in association with other allergic diseases, such as asthma, hay fever and food allergies. A wide range of trigger factors also play a role in its occurrence.

In the case of atopic dermatitis, the protective function of the skin is disturbed. Healthy skin has a barrier function that ensures that the skin stores water. In the case of atopic dermatitis, this barrier function is no longer effective enough. As a result, the skin dries out and reacts in a hypersensitive manner to mechanical and chemical stimuli from the environment.

Irritant factors and triggers of flare-up include:

  • Climate/Weather (air humidity and temperature)
  • Physical stress (e.g. colds, teething, etc.)
  • Chemical stimuli (e.g. air pollutants, cleaning agents, and disinfectants, shower gels and detergents, tobacco smoke)
  • Physical stimuli (e.g. scratching, rough textiles, very low temperatures, heat, sweating)
  • Allergens and irritants (e.g. in food, personal care products, and the environment)
  • Skin infections with bacteria or fungi
  • Psychological stress (e.g. great pressure at school or work, tension at home, great joy,etc.)

Triggers for a flare-up of atopic dermatitis differ from person to person and may change over the course of a lifetime. In many cases, several factors play a role, which often makes it difficult to determine the trigger(s).
