Diathesis is an inherited predisposition of a child to certain skin diseases and reactions to specific irritants. It usually manifests in early childhood, especially with improper nutrition, inadequate skin care, or frequent infections. Symptoms include redness, itching, rash, dryness, and flaking of the skin.
Is this condition contagious?
No, diathesis is not contagious.
Diagnosis
To prevent complications (such as atopic dermatitis), timely diagnosis is essential. At Kani Dəri Clinic, the modern FotoFinder system is used to detect the disease at an early stage, determine its form, and monitor its progression.
Risk groups
Diathesis most often occurs in children due to the immaturity of their enzymatic system and skin’s protective functions, which leads to allergic reactions.
Prevention
Prevention starts with proper nutrition from pregnancy, careful skin care for the newborn, gentle cleansing and moisturizing routines, and maintaining optimal humidity at home to avoid skin dryness.
