Anyone know anything about this atopy condition? doctor says it runs in our family. can we prevent symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Atopy covers a family history of allergies, eczema, and asthma. Breast feeding can help reduce the chance of developing atopic illnesses. Other than that, there are no specific preventative measures.
