Other atopic dermatitis - what does this mean
Other atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that is caused by an overactive immune system. it is characterized by intense itching, redness, and scaly patches on the skin. it can be triggered by environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, animal dander, and certain foods. it may also be caused by genetic factors or an underlying medical condition.
What happens during the disease - other atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition often caused by an abnormal response of the immune system to environmental triggers such as allergens, irritants, or stress. this leads to an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which cause inflammation and itching of the skin. this can further lead to an increase in skin barrier disruption, allowing allergens and irritants to penetrate the skin more easily and cause further inflammation.
