Atopic Dermatitis in infants - How it occurs and Permanent cure - #26093
My baby, who is under 1 year old and exclusively breastfed, has been showing signs of Atopic Dermatitis — including red, itchy, dry patches on the cheeks and body. I am trying to understand what exactly causes or triggers this condition in infants who are only consuming breast milk. Could allergens in my diet, such as dairy, eggs, or nuts, be passing through the breast milk and triggering a reaction? What environmental factors should I be cautious of, such as fabrics, temperature, bathing practices, or household products? What are the safest and most effective treatment options for infants at this young age that do not involve long-term steroid use or medications with potential side effects? Are there natural or Ayurvedic remedies proven to help? Is it possible to manage or completely cure Atopic Dermatitis through skin care, breastfeeding modifications, or maternal diet alone? I am also looking for lifelong strategies — what precautions should we take to prevent flare-ups as the baby grows? Could this condition indicate future allergies or asthma? Ultimately, is there any way to achieve a full cure or long-term remission of Atopic Dermatitis without compromising the baby’s skin health and immune development?
