TREATMENT METHODS FOR NEURODERMATITIS

Relieving And Properly Trearing Neurodermatitis 
Currently, there is no cure for the chronic inflammatory skin condition neurodermatitis. However, it is possible to manage and alleviate its symptoms. Since the condition varies from person to person, treatment options can differ as well. The primary goal of neurodermatitis therapies is to reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups while alleviating symptoms. But what are the best ways to provide relief?

In this blog post, you will discover how you can combat and relieve neurodermatitis, as well as which remedies are truly effective in treating and even preventing flare-ups.

What Are the Treatment Options For Neurodermatitis?

Your Neurodermatitis Relief Guide

What helps against neurodermatitis, and how can you alleviate its symptoms? Treatment options are generally divided into two categories: basic therapy and eczema therapy.

Basic Therapy is used when the skin is in stable condition. It focuses on comprehensive skincare and other non-medical approaches to treat neurodermatitis. The goal is to prevent flare-ups and to reduce the worsening of existing symptoms.

Eczema Therapy complements basic therapy during acute flare-ups of the condition. The aim of this treatment is to relieve inflammation, heal skin lesions, and reduce itching. Medications are often used in this phase. While they can provide quick relief, it’s important to avoid long-term use—especially with corticosteroids, as they can have numerous drawbacks and side effects.

BASIC THERAPY – NEURODERMATITIS TREATMENT

How can you treat neurodermatitis with basic therapy? What steps can you take to manage your condition?

General Measures

• Ongoing and Thorough Skin Care
  To improve skin condition, it’s essential to maintain continuous and thorough skin care. Dry skin should be replenished with adequate moisture and fats to reinforce the damaged skin barrier. Using specially developed creams can lead to significant improvements in treating neurodermatitis.

• Avoiding Provoking Factors
  Identifying and avoiding the triggers that provoke or worsen neurodermatitis flare-ups is crucial. These triggers vary by individual but may include:

  • Improper skin cleansing
  • Stress
  • Exposure to allergens such as pollen, animal hair, and dust mites
  • Diet

• Avoid Scratching
  Scratching hinders the skin’s healing process and causes further injury, which intensifies inflammation and worsens itching.

• Balancing Skin Flora
  Reducing certain skin bacteria can help restore balance to the skin's flora. Did you know salt has an antibacterial effect? It is an effective and 100% natural remedy, which is why sea salt treatment is particularly beneficial for people with neurodermatitis. Traditionally, many sufferers have used salt baths, but a salt shower is an eco-friendly and effective alternative treatment option.

ECZEMA THERAPY

What should you do if you experience a neurodermatitis flare-up? Eczema therapy is used during acute flare-ups, and the necessary steps are determined using a four-stage classification system based on the severity of the eczema. Medical treatment typically includes:

• External application of creams and ointments with anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as cortisone creams or calcineurin inhibitors. These are prescribed by specialists and should be used with caution. While cortisone may seem like a quick solution, prolonged use can thin the skin and increase its sensitivity over time.

  Internal use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as cyclosporine or oral glucocorticoids. These medications should only be used when absolutely necessary and under medical supervision.

In summary, individuals with atopic dermatitis need to develop an understanding of what is beneficial for their skin and what methods work best to prevent flare-ups. It is crucial to act at the first signs of a new flare-up. Preventive measures should be prioritized to avoid the need for eczema therapy.

For this reason, we want to emphasize once again that basic therapy should be used when the skin is in a healthy state, as it helps stabilize the skin barrier, reducing or even preventing new flare-ups. Although a cure for the skin condition may not be possible, special care products and natural remedies, such as antibacterial sea salt, can provide daily support for skin care.
