What is Atopic March (Allergic March)?

The “Atopic march” refers to the natural progression of allergic diseases that tend to develop in a specific sequence in some individuals who have a genetic predisposition to allergies. It is usually described as a children’s disease because it is more noticeable in paediatric patients. Allergic March Treatment considers the elimination of the root cause of the disease. 

The Disease Progresses in the Following Sequence:-

  1. Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
  2. Allergic Rhinitis
  3. Asthma 

What are the Different Stages of Atopic March (Allergic March)?

Allergy March or Atopic March can be defined in three progressions, but we have to remember a thing here: not everyone with Eczema progresses to other stages of the disease. 

The following are the three stages of the disease and Allergic March Treatment involves the treatment of all the three stages of the disease. 

Different Stages of Atopic March

Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, often appears in infancy or early childhood. It is characterised by itchy, inflamed skin and is considered one of the earliest signs of an atopic predisposition. Children with eczema may be at an increased risk of developing other allergic conditions later in life.

Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)

Allergic rhinitis, often referred to as hay fever, typically emerges in childhood or adolescence. It involves symptoms like sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, and itchy eyes, and throat. Allergic rhinitis is often triggered by environmental allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.

Asthma 

Asthma may develop in some individuals with a history of eczema, food allergies, or allergic rhinitis. It is a respiratory condition characterised by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Role of Food Intolerance in Allergy March

Food intolerance plays a key role in the development of allergy March. It’s a transient stage of Atopic March. If a patient is intolerant to any food, the food doesn’t get digested properly and undigested food acts as a toxin in the body which causes inflammation in the body. Firstly, it starts as Atopic dermatitis, then it will progress into Allergic rhinitis and Asthma if not treated properly.
