The effect has been dermatologically confirmed:

In general, good skin care according to this recommendation can be expected to significantly alleviate the symptoms in more than 90% of cases within 6 weeks.¹ In particular, itching is significantly alleviated and the external appearance of the affected areas is improved. This considerably improves the quality of life.

In case of (suspected) neurodermatitis, a doctor should be consulted without restriction.

Which care set should be used for atopic dermatitis?

All care products for neurodermatitis are included in the HYPOGEN CARE Neurodermatitis & Psoriasis Acute Care Set!

Recommendation

The body should only be washed with HYPOGEN CARE Shower Foam. The Shower Foam is so mild and has such a low proportion of surfactants (detergents) that it cleans as gently as possible. For hand washing, HYPOGEN CARE Washing Lotion is recommended instead of the shower foam. After washing, rinse the cleansed skin areas thoroughly.

Then apply HYPOGEN CARE LLS Care Cream to the skin - be gentle on the affected areas. The cream should be applied after every shower or cleansing.

If the skin is generally very dry, HYPOGEN CARE Skin Care Oil should be massaged into the skin before applying LLS Care Cream . This should also be done gently on the areas of skin irritated by atopic dermatitis. Applying the skin care oil in this way relaxes the skin and reduces its susceptibility to tearing.

If the areas affected by neurodermatitis are inflamed, HYPOGEN CARE Wound Care Fluid should also be applied after LLS Care Cream or HYPOGEN CARE Wound Care Lotion for acute inflammation. Gently apply a thin layer of Wound Care Fluid or Wound Care Lotion to the affected areas and do not wash or wipe off, but allow to absorb or dry. Cracked skin can also be treated locally with Wound Care Lotion (thin application).

For facial care in particular, the use of HYPOGEN CARE Facial Cleanser in combination with HYPOGEN CARE Make-up Remover Oil (if required) is recommended. This replaces Shower Foam in the treatment procedure described above.

Features

Neurodermatitis is a chronic, non-contagious skin disease. Neurodermatitis is caused by a disturbed balance of the stratum corneum of the skin and the cell membrane complex. The skin reacts symptomatically with forced redness, eczema and excessive scaling. Typical signs are consequently skin rash and severe itching.

Neurodermatitis often occurs in children. It often improves over the years and disappears temporarily or even completely. If there is a connection with an allergy, it is also called "atopic dermatitis" or "atopic eczema".

Neurodermatitis can significantly impair the quality of life. The itching in particular can be a nuisance, disturbing sleep and the ability to concentrate. Many sufferers also find their visible rashes unpleasant.
