Expert recommends La Roche Posay Lipikar Products for the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis

A Medical Doctor, Dr. Adaora Onyilimba has recommended La Roche Posay baby friendly products for the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis in children from 6months to under 5.This range of products is clinical and have been proven to be very beneficial since inception.

Dr. Adaora Onyilimba revealed this at the 55th Scientific Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Paediatric Association of Nigeria, where she presented a paper on Atopic Dermatitis.

She said that Atopic Dermatitis is a common non-communicable disease that is often genetically associated.

She noted that in Atopic dermatitis there’s a mutation of a protein called Filaggrin which plays an important role in the formation of the skin barrier so the loss of this fillagrin function leads to increased trans epidermal water loss and increasing skin dryness, penetration of external aggressors . Certain antigens and allergens have also been found to been implicated in Atopic dermatitis

She also stated that in Atopic dermatitis, the skin barrier function is weakened leaving it vulnerable and open to attack from allergens and irritants.

“This weakened skin barrier causes a cycle of microbiome dysbiosis, penetration of irritating agents and allergens, inflammation, itching & pain. This often occurs on the cheeks, neck, arms and legs. Mostly starts at Infancy and can persist into adulthood in some cases.”

Dr. Adaora Onyilimba stated that La Roche Posay range of products for children and babies is the number 1 dermatologist recommended skincare products and was developed in partnership with dermatologists and doctors all over the world to ensure last longing solution through science based formulas.

Kids with atopic dermatitis are recommended to bath with non-irritating, non-allergenic and soap free products such as La Roche Posay Lipikar Syndet body wash and daily compulsory use of emollients. This is because skincare products used in children affected play a key role in the effectiveness of drug based treatments and should also improve skin dryness.

She advised parents and healthcare provider to also identify their child’s triggers and try their possible best to avoid these aggravating factors.

“La Roche Posay Lipikar AP + M formula contains key ingredients, that helps rebalance the skin microbiome, preventing over proliferation of staph aureus, strengthen the skin barrier, decrease inflammation while also reducing flare ups.

Leading to less pain ,less discomfort, less itching and improved quality of sleep nights for the patient and the care giver”, she noted.

However, our major goal in conferences like this is to create awareness, give sample products to paediatricians practicing in all over the country even in rural communities to distribute to their patients for initial try outs and feed back.
