What is Atopic dermatitis?

Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a major skin condition. Patients with this condition experience itchy and flaky skin with inflammation. The condition also leads to redness and a burning sensation. According to Ayurvedic ideology, Atopic dermatitis is known as "Shudra Kushta" or “Vicharchika”. The skin condition is categorised as twak vikara (skin disease) in Ayurveda classes.

In Ayurvedic literature, "Vicharchika" is a chronic inflammatory skin condition attributed to imbalances in doshas. It is particularly Vata and Kapha. Ayurvedic treatment mainly focuses on restoring dosha equilibrium through herbal remedies and other supportive treatments.

Ayurveda-proven therapies can alleviate symptoms and strengthen the skin barrier. It will address underlying imbalances for the holistic management of Atopic Dermatitis. Ayur Bethaniya has brought you quality Ayurveda treatment with guaranteed effectiveness to treat this skin condition.

Causes of Atopic Dermatitis

Examining the key factors behind Atopic Dermatitis

Book Now
Atopic dermatitis is mostly caused by family history of eczema. Being exposed to certain environmental factors and stress, the condition gets triggered. It also results from an overactive immune system, which makes the skin barrier dry and itchy. The impaired skin barrier function and accumulation of toxins (ama) lead to allergic reactions and inflammation. According to Ayurvedic ideology, Atopic dermatitis or eczema occurs because of the vitiation of Pitta Dosha and Kapha Dosha. At Ayur Bethaniya, our practitioners initially focus on the causes and proceed with the treatment.

Genetics

A family history of eczema significantly increases the likelihood of developing Atopic Dermatitis. Certain genetic mutations can compromise the skin's barrier function, making it more susceptible to irritation & allergens.

Immune System Dysfunction

Individuals with Atopic Dermatitis often have overactive immune responses. It leads to inflammation and skin hypersensitivity. This dysfunction contributes to redness, itching, and rash associated with eczema.

Exposure to Environmental Allergens

Exposure to allergens: dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and mould can trigger flare-ups in susceptible individuals. These allergens can penetrate the skin barrier and impair it. This leads to worsening eczema symptoms.

Using Products with Chemical Irritants

Harsh chemicals found in soaps, skincare products, and fabrics can irritate the skin & trigger eczema. Fragrances, preservatives, and certain fabrics like wool are also common culprits.

Climate Change and Weather Conditions

Dry or humid weather conditions can affect the skin's moisture levels. This will trigger Atopic Dermatitis symptoms. Dry & cold air can lead to skin dryness and irritation, aggravating itching and inflammation.

Stress Factor

Emotional stress can weaken the immune system & trigger inflammatory responses, worsening Atopic Dermatitis symptoms. Stress management techniques will help reduce flare-ups in patients.

Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis

The Markers of Atopic Dermatitis

Book Now
Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis vary from person to person based on the stages. The symptoms also vary in severity, and they can range from mild to very severe. In general, the common symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis include dry, itchy skin, redness, rash with raised bumps, thickened skin and skin discolouration. Patients can notice the signs and symptoms on their skin. Our specialists at Ayur Bethaniya will examine and diagnose the symptoms and their severity to decide on the Ayurvedic treatment plan.
Dry Skin

Dry Skin

Dry and scaly skin is the major symptom of Atopic Dermatitis. The affected areas will become rough, cracked, and flaky due to impaired skin barrier function, leading to transepidermal water loss.
Itching

Itching

Intense itching is a sign of eczema and is often unbearable. Scratching the affected areas can worsen the inflammation and lead to further skin damage. It will create a vicious cycle known as the "itch-scratch" cycle.
Redness

Redness

Inflammation of the skin causes redness during flare-ups. The affected areas will be swollen & warm to the touch due to increased blood flow & immune activity in the skin.
Rash

Rash

Eczema rashes are small and raised bumps (papules) that may merge to form larger patches. These patches can vary in shape and size & often have an uneven texture. The rash may ooze fluid and develop crusts or scales in many cases.
Thickened Skin (Lichenification)

Thickened Skin (Lichenification)

Consistently scratching or rubbing of the skin can lead to thickening and hardening of the affected areas. This results from repeated trauma to the skin and is a common sign of longstanding eczema.
Skin Discoloration

Skin Discoloration

Prolonged inflammation and scratching can cause changes in skin pigmentation, leading to areas of hyperpigmentation (darker patches) or hypopigmentation (lighter patches) in individuals with eczema. These changes may persist even after the eczema has resolved. Skin Discoloration:
