What are the trigger factors for development of atopic dermatitis?
Most atopics (individuals suffering from atopic dermatitis / asthma / hay fever) worsen during winter season, when as such the skin is prone to dryness. * Sweating can aggravate the eczema. * Atopic children are intolerant to woolens, synthetic and dyed fabrics. * Simultaneous upper respiratory tract infections (cough and cold), teething or vaccinations can trigger a rash. * A stray mosquito bite on the exposed areas of the body can potentially trigger a rash all over the body.
