Episode notes
When To Suspect Atopic Dermatitis
- Expect atopic dermatitis to present after ~2 months; consider cradle cap or milk-protein allergy in newborns.
- Use the diagnostic criteria: classical rash, pruritus, symmetric course, and family history.
Filaggrin And Minor Clues For Severity
- Filaggrin mutations disrupt the skin barrier and underlie atopic dermatitis risk.
- Minor signs (hyperlinear palms, fabric intolerance, exaggerated bug-bite responses) predict comorbidities and severity.
Practical Emollient And Wet-Wrap Tips
- Start with fragrance-free emollients and coach caregivers on application techniques for adherence.
- Use wet-wraps (soak-and-seal) for severe flares but warn families it's effective yet uncomfortable.
