Neurodermatitis and mold
Not everyone reacts to a mold infestation in the same way. In the case of neurodermatitis patients, however, the probability of a reaction is increased because the skin barrier is disrupted and the penetration of mold spores into the skin is favored. Moist rooms with mold infestation can thus intensify neurodermatitis.
As the immune system is not yet fully developed in small children, they are particularly at risk. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that the room is free of mold. Regular ventilation and dehumidification of the room helps to prevent mold.
