Atopic Dermatitis: What It Is and How to Treat It
What is atopic dermatitis?
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is often related to allergies to environmental substances such as pollen, dust, mold, and other allergens, as well as specific foods such as chicken and carbohydrate sources...
What are the symptoms?
Some of the most common symptoms are:
-
Persistent itching, which can lead to excessive scratching, licking, or biting.
-
Reddening of the skin.
-
Hair loss.
-
Ear irritation, which can lead to ear infections.
How to treat dermatitis?
-
Allergen control: Identify and limit exposure to allergens such as pollen and dust. Implement elimination diets. For example, if a possible allergen is chicken, try chicken-free diets to determine if that will cause the dermatitis.
- Bathing and skin care: Bath your dog with mild, veterinarian-recommended shampoos and keep the skin well moisturized.
-
Immunotherapy: In some cases, immunotherapy, like allergy shots, can be considered to reduce sensitivity to allergens.
