Das atopische Kopfhautekzem

Bei einer Neurodermitis, die auch als atopische Dermatitis bekannt ist, kann die Kopfhaut betroffen sein. Sie zeigt dann die typischen Symptome wie extreme Trockenheit, starken Juckreiz, Schuppung und Entzündungen. Falsche Pflege tut ein Zusätzliches, um die extrem empfindliche Kopfhaut zusätzlich zu reizen. Haare färben, scharfe Shampoos, Fönen und ähnliche Maßnahmen sind tabu, solange die Beschwerden vorhanden sind.

Eine Neurodermitis verläuft in der Regel schubweise. Es geht bei der Behandlung in erster Linie darum, die Symptome wie den starken Juckreiz zu bekämpfen. Dazu sollten die Patienten zum Beispiel auf die richtige Pflege achten und beispielsweise sanfte Shampoos verwenden, die frei von Parfüm, Konservierungsstoffen oder ähnlichem sind. Zusätzlich sollte die Kopfhaut mit einem Haartonikum oder auch mit Öl gepflegt werden.

Best steroid creams for children with eczema

Eczema can occur in children, and it’s a chronic condition. More than 10 percent of children have eczema, it’s the most common skin condition of children under 10 years old.

As with any medical treatment, there may be side effects to using steroid creams. Side effects can be local, affecting a specific spot on the body, or systemic, affecting the entire body. Side effects will depend on the strength of the steroid and where it’s used.

Systemic reactions are rare because the skin doesn’t usually absorb enough medication to cause a significant reaction, however, they can happen. If side effects do occur, they are often related to topical steroid use over a longer period of time and on areas of the body where the skin is thinner, such as on the face. Skin also thins as you get older.

Local side effects of steroid cream may include:

• allergic reaction
• skin atrophy
• bruising more easily
• stretch marks
• rosacea
• perioral dermatitis (facial rash usually occurring around the mouth)
• acne
• purpura (bursting of small blood vessels, creating purple spots on the skin)
• premature skin aging

Less common side effects can include:

• pigment alteration
• delayed wound healing

When systemic side effects occur, they may include:

• Cushing’s syndrome – weight gain and other related symptoms
• hypertension – high blood pressure
• hyperglycemia – high blood sugar
• hypothalamic-pituitary axis suppression (adrenal fatigue) – uncommon but possible in children, this condition affects the body’s ability to make hormones like various steriods

Even over-the-counter steroids (hydrocortisone creams) can have side effects. Common ones include:

• dry or cracked skin
• acne
• itching
• burning
• change in skin color
