What is Atopic Eczema?
Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) is one of the most common forms of skin conditions. It causes dry, cracking and itchy skin that can lead to permanent scars if left untreated- especially in children who have had this issue before they turned 1 year old
It\’s usually a lifelong condition but some people may experience improvement with time or even complete clearance as they get older.
Atopic eczema is a chronic skin disease that causes the body to become itchy, dry and sore. Some people only experience small patches of red inflamed skin on lighter colored clothing while others may have widespread symptoms all over their bodies if they are not treated properly; this can be more difficult for those with dark colors because it will show up as purple or grey spots rather than light pink ones like in an ordinary person\’s case
When someone has atopy (which includes many types of allergic reactions), his/her immune system mistakes something environmental such as pollen counts from grass outside where there shouldn\’t normally exist any kind

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before using Advantan
If your doctor diagnoses that your skin disease is accompanied by bacterial or fungal
infections, additional specific therapy is required. Talk to your doctor if the infection spreads
or gets worse.
Anti-inflammatory medicines (corticosteroids) like the active substance methylprednisolone
aceponate in Advantan show strong effects on the body. It is not recommended to use
Advantan on large areas of the body or for prolonged periods of time as this will significantly
increase the risk of side effects.
To reduce the risk of side effects:
• use as little as possible, especially in children
• use only for as long as is absolutely necessary to relieve the skin condition
• you should not get Advantan into your eyes or mouth, open wound or on mucosal surfaces
(e.g. the anal and genital area)
• you should not use Advantan on large body surfaces (more than 40 % of your body
surface)
• you should not use Advantan under air- and watertight materials including bandages,
poorly breathable dressings, clothing or nappies
If you use Advantan for other diseases than prescribed, you may cover the symptoms and
hinder the right diagnosis and therapy.
Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.
If Advantan is applied to the anal or genital areas, some of its ingredients may cause
damage to latex products such as condoms or diaphragms. Therefore, these may no longer
be effective as contraception or as protection against sexually transmitted diseases such as
HIV infection. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist, if you require more information.
