Atopy is a skin condition that disrupts your child's life from a very young age. In France, 20% of children under 7 years old are affected , and 18% of children aged 7 to 16 years old. As they grow up, atopy disappears in the majority of cases, but 10% still suffer from it in adulthood . WHAT IS ATOPIA ?Atopy is an allergic disease that manifests itself in children from a very young age. There is approximately a 50% chance of developing atopy if one parent has had it in the past, increasing to 80% if both parents have it. This condition manifests itself mainly by dry skin , red patches and especially itching on certain areas of the child's body. A benign, non-contagious but disabling condition , it evolves as the child grows (eczema, difficulty sleeping, etc.) and can disrupt the entire family balance. |

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? UNDERSTANDING THE VICIOUS CIRCLE OF ATOPIA.At the origin of atopy lies a deficiency of the skin barrier associated with an imbalance in the skin flora (microbiome). The skin barrier forms the upper layer of the epidermis and acts as a protective “wall” . It is made up of cells (corneocytes rich in NMF which retain water) and lipids which play the role of “cement” waterproof between them. The cohesion of the whole is guaranteed by proteins such as filaggrin . AGGRAVATING FACTORSAtopy can be triggered or worsened by many external factors. Indeed, our daily environment can significantly accentuate the symptoms of this condition. Rough clothing, pollution , diet, perfume, poorly suited cosmetics or even stress... The aggravating factors are numerous but can be avoided. It is therefore necessary to change your habits to live as well as possible with your atopy.
