Environmental FactorsÂ
The prevalence of atopic dermatitis is increasing globally, with developing nations experiencing a greater increase than developed nations. This prevalence of atopic dermatitis in numerous nations demonstrates the significance of the environmental factor in disease incidence. There are a number of environmental factors that can contribute to the development of atopic dermatitis, such as hygiene, pathogen exposure, contact with outdoor animals, weather, intestinal macrobiotics, etc. The primary environmental factors responsible for the development of atopic dermatitis have not yet been identified, but a number of environmental factors can contribute to its occurrence. Environmental conditions can therefore be considered a risk factor for the development of atopic dermatitis. For instance, in the winter, colder temperatures can aggravate eczema in some individuals. Additionally, dry weather causes itching and clawing. Similarly, excessive heat and perspiration cause itchy skin. As itchy, inflamed skin is the first sign of atopic dermatitis, hot and cold weather can impact the skin, making it more susceptible to eczema.
