Atopic dermatitis

History of atopic dermatitis – a short review from ancient to modern medicine

“…Consequently, he recommended abstaining from hygienic procedures until achieving an improvement in skin condition with topical steroids. Another point worth emphasizing is that Scholtz in his papers advised that every patient with AD should be provided with a set of written instructions on skin care and therapy [33,34].…”

“…Scholtz łączył podrażnienie skóry w przebiegu choroby z narażeniem na wodę i mydło (zarówno podczas kąpieli w wannie, jak i pod prysznicem), dlatego zalecał wstrzymanie się od zabiegów higienicznych do czasu uzyskania poprawy stanu skóry (przy użyciu miejscowych steroidów). Ważna jest porada zawarta w artykułach tego autora dotycząca konieczności wydawania pisemnej instrukcji pielęgnacji skóry oraz terapii dla każdego pacjenta chorego na AZS [33,34].…”

Improving the Patient-Clinician and Parent-Clinician Partnership in Atopic Dermatitis Management

“…The dry method consists of minimization of bathing and is based on the hypothesis that overbathing contributes to exacerbation of skin xerosis. The earliest recommendations for the dry method came from Scholtz, 5,6 in which bathing or washing was strictly prohibited and the skin was cleansed only with a lipid-free lotion. In 2009, Chiang and colleagues 7 published the results of a crossover study in five pediatric patients with AD (and a parallel group with healthy skin) in whom objective parameters of cutaneous hydration status were assessed following various combinations of bathing and moisturizing regimens.…”

Quantitative Assessment of Combination Bathing and Moisturizing Regimens on Skin Hydration in Atopic Dermatitis

“…In 1872 Hebra (1) recommended frequent bathing three to four times daily, as an intervention for eczema. In 1964 Scholtz (2,3) advanced the concept that bathing may negatively impact individuals with AD. His “Scholtz regimen” advocated bathing avoidance and the application of a lipid‐free lotion at least once a day per patient preferences (4,5).…”
