What is atopic dermatitis?
Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disorder that is constantly changing.
Caused by a deficit in the lipids in the skin, it presents itself in the form of extreme skin dryness accompanied by eczemous red patches and intense itching.
Inflammatory flare-ups and periods of remission follow one after the other. In most cases, with the help of treatments, the symptoms decrease after the age of 2 years and disappear between the ages of 7 and 11 years.
If your child suffers from atopic dermatitis, it is indispensible to use products on a daily basis tailored to cleansing and moisturising their skin, such as Stelatopia skin care products from the Mustela Dermo-Pediatrics line: specifically designed for skin with an atopic tendency, they make it possible to soothe itching sensations, naturally relaunch the synthesis of lipids that are lacking thanks to Sunflower Oil Distillate and restructure dry skin.
