Q Will childhood atopic dermatitis go away naturally as the child grows?
A Some cases improve with growth, but if left untreated it can progress to adult atopic dermatitis. Early treatment is important.
Detailed Answer
About 30-50% of childhood atopic dermatitis cases improve naturally after puberty. However, if symptoms are severe or not properly managed, it can develop into adult atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, or asthma.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we aim to prevent the transition into adulthood by improving the body's constitution. Firmly establishing digestive and immune function in childhood greatly improves the long-term prognosis.
