Excerpt from the book
Children and Atopic Dermatitis (Atopic Eczema)
Until recently, atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema) was regarded purely as a skin disease, and for that reason only the surface of the body (the skin) was treated. However, in the case of atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema) additional allergies exist which cause the child difficulties. The parents of a child with atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema) are familiar with their own helplessness and the often incorrect methods of skin care. In addition, the entire environment of the child with atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema) suffers; the child’s illness causes much unrest in the whole family. An overview of atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema) and guidelines to ensure good care of the sick child are urgently required here. This self-help guide aims to deal with the flood of information and give clear instructions on how to achieve the best state of health for a child with atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema), with the smallest possible effort.
