Neurodermatitis flare-ups in autumn - care tips

Neurodermatitis, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Autumn can be a particularly difficult time for people with neurodermatitis, as the cool, dry air and temperature fluctuations can worsen symptoms. Dr. Kerstin Schallaböck, general practitioner, mother of four, and KAMI skincare founder, tells us today how best to deal with it.

"In autumn, humans also experience significant changes in their skin; we, too, shed our fur, just like our pets. In addition, both children at school and adults are increasingly exposed to stress factors after the summer's quiet periods. This leads to a greater sensitization to potential triggers and allergens. Today, I'd like to remind you of a few tips that you may have all heard before, but perhaps forget in your daily life."

How to care for inflamed skin:

  • Moisturize: Keep your skin well-hydrated by regularly using hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturizers or ointments. Avoid products with irritating ingredients. My KAMI skincare products contain only ingredients specifically selected for their beneficial effects on inflammation.
  • Gentle cleansing: Always use mild, soap-free cleansers to cleanse your skin, such as our KAMI Cleansing Fluid. Avoid hot water, as it can dry out your skin. After washing, gently pat your skin dry instead of rubbing.
  • Short baths: Always take short, lukewarm baths or showers to avoid further drying out your skin. Avoid adding irritating substances like perfumes or bubble baths. KAMI Wash Fluid is extremely moisturizing and virtually eliminates the need for moisturizer after a bath or shower.
  • Cotton clothing: Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing to minimize irritation. Avoid synthetic fabrics and tight clothing, as they can irritate the skin. For children, there are great clothes at Chill n Feel: Vegan organic baby clothes, eco-friendly toys & baby gifts . In Vienna I find Tiny Society – tinysocietyvienna very sweet, you will get good advice.
  • Avoid heating air: Try to avoid excessive heating, as it can dry out the air. Use a humidifier to maintain indoor humidity. Hanging damp towels or laundry can also help, as can plants, which improve the indoor climate (but please not in the bedroom!).
  • Reduce allergens: Try to reduce allergens that could aggravate your atopic dermatitis, such as dust mites, pet dander, or pollen. Keep your home "clutter-free" and clean, and always well-ventilated.
  • Soothing compresses: For severe itching, cold, moist compresses can provide temporary relief. You can apply KAMI SOS Skin Care Oil, for example, under the moist compress and gently dab it onto the affected areas of skin.
  • Drug treatment: During a flare-up, follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding prescribed topical medications or ointments to relieve symptoms, but be careful not to cause the areas to become bloody or raw.
  • Nutrition and hydration: Make sure you eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids, as a healthy diet and adequate hydration can support healthy skin. Children often forget to drink enough, so it's worth reminding them occasionally.
  • Consult a doctor or dermatologist you trust: If symptoms are particularly severe in the fall, it is advisable to develop an individual treatment strategy and possibly adjust care and treatment.

I hope that you can still enjoy this wonderful season and wish you

All love

Your Kerstin
