Living with atopic dermatitis and practicing sports
Patients with eczema may also deprive themselves of certain leisure activities for fear of sweating. Sweating in fact accentuates the itching. If you really want to, it is best to discuss it with your doctor. To think with him about solutions to reduce perspiration and reduce the skin effects of the latter. We advise you to adapt the practice of the activity according to your atopic skin . If the skin is in crisis, it is possible to practice the activity for a shorter time.
In times of crisis, other activities can be considered, for example a visit to the museum or a game of a board game! Thus an outbreak of the disease can encourage the discovery of new activities. Chronic illness does not always have negative effects on the lives of patients. And when the lull returns, we can resume the first activity and live with his atopic dermatitis .
