Stages of Atopic Dermatitis
There are three stages of eczema or atopic dermatitis, and the duration of each stage differs from person to person. Rash outbreaks can begin and cease at any stage. The severity of the lesions is not represented by these stages. The description of these phases appears below.
Acute period
This stage represents the onset of the dermatitis. Even before the rash is visible, the individual begins to experience irritation upon exposure to sage. As the condition worsens, additional systems begin to emerge. Extreme redness and intense irritation are two prominent characteristics of the acute stage. The epidermis develops small bumps. The bumps may become filled with fluids, forming fluid-filled blisters that may leak. The individual may experience swelling and discomfort in the body. Compared to other areas, the area of the rash may also produce a feeling of fever. This stage is also known as an outbreak. Many stages of atopic dermatitis can be caused by contact with allergens, or a rash can develop in response to a primary infection. The severity of atopic dermatitis can range from mild to severe if it is not properly treated.
Typically, hydrocortisone or antihistamine lotions are recommended to suppress immune stare activity and alleviate symptoms.
