  Despite advances in atopic dermatitis (AD) treatments, research into AD prevention has been slow. […] Systematic reviews suggest that probiotics could reduce AD incidence by around 20%, although the studies are quite variable and might benefit from individual patient data meta-analysis. […] Skin barrier enhancement from birth to prevent AD and food allergy has received recent interest, and results from national trials are awaited. […] It is possible that trying to influence major immunological changes that characterise AD at birth through infant-directed interventions may be too late, and more attention might be directed at fetal programming in utero. […] Prevention of disease is arguably a much more logical and cost-effective way to manage the burden of a disease such as AD than focussing solely on drug treatment of sick individuals who seek medical help after a long chain of irreversible pathological events.

  Prevention of disease is arguably a much more logical and cost-effective way to manage the burden of a disease such as AD than focusing solely on drug treatment of sick individuals who seek medical help after a long chain of irreversible pathological events. […] The evidence that ingested probiotics (non-pathogenic live bacteria or yeasts that can restore a dysfunctional pro-inflammatory gut microbiome) or prebiotics (non-digestible food ingredients that encourage beneficial bacteria to thrive) or both (synbiotics) can prevent AD is gathering momentum. […] The main outside in approaches for preventing AD, sensitisation and food allergy have included attempts to reduce airborne allergens such as house dust mite at the time of birth, increasing exposure to an anthroposophic environment and measures to enhance the skin barrier.

  Since the discovery of a strong association between AD and loss-of-function mutations in FLG, the gene encoding filaggrin an essential protein for healthy skin barrier function, interest has increased on the potential benefits of skin barrier enhancement as a means of preventing AD and food allergy. […] The first of these studies (Barrier Enhancement for Eczema Prevention (BEEP) trial) is investigating daily emollient for the first year of life in babies born to atopic families. […] The second, the Preventing Atopic Dermatitis and Allergies in children study (PreventADALL), is a factorial trial a trial whereby two or more interventions are carried out and assessed simultaneously. […] Results of BEEP and PreventADALL are not available at the time of writing. […] A systematic review of house dust mite avoidance strategies (alone or with allergen avoidance) that included 7 RCTs concluded such modalities do not decrease the risk of developing AD.

  The main areas of research into the primary prevention of AD can be categorized according to timing of the intervention, i.e. altering risk factors in the mother prior to infant birth (prenatal) or changing things about the experience of the at-risk infant at and shortly after birth (peri-natal). Methods that have been explored for predicting AD primarily include improving the skin barrier using emollients and moisturizers, altering dietary intake, limiting or altering the environment and changing the microbiome using probiotics to allow good bacteria to develop on the skin and in the gut rather than colonization of disease producing bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. […] In an initial study of 124 infants known to be at high risk for developing AD (a parent or sibling have AD, asthma or allergic rhinitis) parents were instructed to apply full-body emollient therapy at least once a day starting three weeks post-birth while the control group of parents were instructed not to apply emollients. Daily emollient use significantly reduced the incidence of AD development at six months, with 43% of the infants not given emollients developing AD while only 22% of infants receiving emollients daily developed AD (50% reduced risk).

  Prevention strategies for AD have been largely unsuccessful in the past, which may relate to factors such as prenatal triggers. However, some newer interventional studies have shown some promise in AD prevention in specific settings. For example, a randomized trial of infants in the United States and United Kingdom at high risk for AD (ie, family history of atopy) reported that the AD risk was reduced by 50% when patients were treated with at least once-daily application of full-body emollients for 6 months (beginning by 3 weeks of life). The strategy of daily application of emollients for avoidance of AD in infants with a family history of AD is reasonable but may not offer lifetime prevention, and the benefit in children not from AD families is unknown. […] Other trials to prevent AD have included usage of dust avoidance and dust covers for mattresses. This strategy showed modest benefit in reducing the incidence of atopic diatheses in the first year but did not gain endorsement by the most recent guidelines of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).

  https://nationaleczema.org/blog/preventing-eczema-in-infants/

  One of the largest emollient as prevention studies to date (Barrier Enhancement for Eczema Prevention, BEEP) that followed 1,394 infants either given emollients (693 infants) or just general skin care advice (701 infants) for three, four or five years, found that emollients did not prevent AD, asthma, food allergy or rhinitis. […] Current data also suggests that infants need to be followed for longer periods of time to better understand what symptoms they go on to develop and if emollients may be better at delaying rather than preventing AD development. […] Research exploring the diet of the mother or infant to prevent AD has included exclusive breastfeeding, either delay or early introduction of foods other than milk, maternal or infant dietary restrictions and ingesting dietary supplements such as Vitamin D. While some of these things may be important for the general health of an infant, none to date have showed clear evidence of preventing AD.

  Using emollients from birth does not prevent eczema in infants at high risk. […] Daily emollient application did not prevent or delay eczema or reduce its severity. […] A 2022 Cochrane review of skin care interventions to prevent eczema was funded by the NIHR, and included the BEEP trial. It reaffirmed the findings among healthy infants during the first year of life. […] The findings relate to the use of emollients to prevent eczema. For the management of established eczema, emollients are an important part of eczema treatment. […] Emollients are an important part of eczema treatment. They are recommended for all patients as a leave-on treatment to add and help retain moisture in the skin. […] Bath emollients should not be offered to children with eczema. […] The trial found that bath emollients provide no clinical benefit and are therefore not a useful additional treatment for children receiving standard eczema care.

  The BEEP study has shown that applying emollients to babies from birth does not prevent eczema. […] The BEEP study has shown that applying emollients from birth does not prevent eczema developing by the age of 2 in babies that are at a higher risk of developing eczema because someone in their family has or had eczema, asthma or hayfever. […] Although the BEEP study showed that using emollients dont work for preventing eczema, this is different from using emollients to treat eczema. Other studies have shown that emollients are a helpful part of treatment once a child has developed eczema.

  The evidence that ingested probiotics (non-pathogenic live bacteria or yeasts that can restore a dysfunctional pro-inflammatory gut microbiome) or prebiotics (nondigestible food ingredients that encourage beneficial bacteria to thrive) or both (synbiotics) can prevent AD is gathering momentum. […] A systematic review in 2019 of 22 pooled trials published between January 2008 and May 2018 showed a reduction in AD incidence for those receiving probiotic supplementation during pregnancy and/or infancy. […] The evidence of prebiotics alone was weak due to high risk of bias, inconsistency, imprecision, and indirectness of study results. […] The main exception to the lack of positive findings for AD prevention has been the use of probiotics. […] Probiotic use has consistently shown modest benefit and good safety when tested in different populations around the world, prompting the World Allergy Organisation guideline panel to determine that there is a likely net benefit from using probiotics resulting primarily from prevention of eczema. […] New evidence is likely to emerge on barrier enhancement as a strategy for AD prevention over the next 5 years.

  After showing the feasibility and safety of emollient use in 22 infants from the age of 3 weeks to 6 months, an American-British trial randomized 124 high-risk babies to either a treatment arm of at least daily full-body moisturizer starting from 3 weeks of age or a no emollient control arm. […] A relative risk reduction of 50% for development of AD was found in the treatment arm, with no difference in adverse effects. […] A prospective, randomized, controlled, Japanese study of 118 neonates showed 32% lower cumulative incidence of AD at 32 weeks for infants treated with daily emulsion-type moisturizer than for the controls. […] We found a trend to reduced AD risk at 6 and 12 months with intention-to-treat analysis. […] Given the observed dysbiosis observed in AD, it has been suggested that probiotics may have benefits for both prevention and treatment of AD. […] Recent meta-analyses of perinatal use of probiotics suggest an associated reduction of AD incidence of 20%-24% and a preventative role, especially when given during the late antenatal period and first 36 months of life.

  Prenatal and postnatal (maternal and child) supplementation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus has shown promise in prevention. The exact regimen likely makes an impact on efficacy. An early study showed the usage of probiotics (eg, Lactobacillus reuteri) prenatally in pregnant women and postnatally in infants resulted in no reduction in occurrence of AD and possible reduction in IgE-associated AD. Kalliomki et al demonstrated that L rhamnosus GG alone reduced AD by half in at-risk infants in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. […] The most successful recent trial involved the randomization of 415 pregnant women to receive interventions from 36 weeks gestation until 3 months postpartum. The intervention was a randomized comparison of milk without probiotics versus a blend of probiotic milk containing L rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis Bb-12. At 6 years of age, 81 babies who consumed probiotic milk and 82 babies who consumed milk without probiotics were available for testing. The strategy caused a statistically significant reduction in AD in the complete case analysis (odds ratio, 0.48; 95% confidence interval, 0.25-0.92; P=.027; number needed to treat, 6). Sadly, other allergic diseases were not prevented in this study.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1049085-treatment

  Moisturization is important on an ongoing basis and may prevent flares. […] Patients should be advised to apply an emollient (moisturizer) such as petrolatum or Aquaphor all over the body while it is wet so as to seal in moisture and allow water to be absorbed through the stratum corneum. […] Probiotics have been recommended as a therapeutic option for the treatment of AD. The rationale for their use is that bacterial products may induce an immune response of the Th1 series instead of Th2 and could therefore inhibit the development of allergic IgE antibody production. Some limited benefit in preventive and therapeutic roles has been reported. […] In January 2015, the World Allergy Organization recommend the use of probiotics by pregnant and lactating women and their breastfed infants to prevent the development of AD. […] Food avoidance is discussed elsewhere (see Diet).

  Atopic dermatitis (AD) poses a significant financial and disease burden on affected patients and families, prompting increased interest in primary prevention strategies. This review summarizes promising interventions aimed at preventing AD in childhood, with a focus on evidence from recent clinical trials and large cohort studies. […] While prophylactic emollient use for AD prevention initially appeared promising, recent follow up studies have cast doubt on its effectiveness. Perinatal probiotics may moderately reduce the risk of childhood AD, especially among children at high-risk of allergic disease. However, there are insufficient high-quality studies to support prebiotic supplements, breastfeeding, partially hydrolyzed infant formula, other perinatal nutritional supplements, or specific material diets for prevention of AD.

  Probiotics and prebiotics appear to be effective in reducing the incidence of atopic dermatitis in infants, but their role in atopic dermatitis treatment is controversial. […] Based on current systematic review evidence, the most promising intervention for the prevention of AD is the use of probiotics (and possibly prebiotics) during the late stages of pregnancy and early life. […] There is no reliable evidence to date that strongly supports their safe application of probiotics. In spite of the weak evidence, a considerable number of clinicians prescribe the use of probiotics for the prevention of eczema.

So far, no one thing guarantees your child wont develop AD, the most common type of eczema. Making some lifestyle changes, however, may reduce your childs risk. […] Findings from one study suggest that breastfeeding may help newborns at high risk of developing AD. […] In this study, breastfeeding a high-risk newborn reduced the childs chance of developing AD by 33%. Researchers also discovered that breastfeeding a child with a high risk of developing AD may protect the child from getting severe AD. […] According to this study, the childs risk was lower when mothers: Breastfed for 4 to 6 months […] The findings also suggest that for the babys first 4 months of life, a mother should breastfeed only. No solid foods should be given during this time. The risk of developing AD was higher when babies were fed solid foods before 4 months of age.

[…] Formal, structured multidisciplinary educational programs (training programs, eczema schools) for children and adults have already been established in some countries. […] Such formal training programs have the strongest supportive evidence, but do require significant personnel and financial resources. […] Even if food allergies are present, effective treatment for AD is still centered on good skin care and topical therapies. […] Environmental modifications mainly stem from expert/consensus recommendations as there are few well-controlled studies.

  Educational programs (training programs, eczema schools) are recommended as an adjunct to the conventional therapy of AD. […] Formal, structured multidisciplinary educational programs (training programs, eczema schools) for children and adults have already been established in some countries. […] Such formal training programs have the strongest supportive evidence, but do require significant personnel and financial resources.

  Education: Understanding the disorder and being fully informed by healthcare providers is important. Effective education facilitates effective treatment. […] Skin irritants: Where possible, avoid triggers that can directly inflame the skin. These may include fabrics, chemicals, humidity, and dryness. […] Food: The relationship between atopic dermatitis and food is complex. Food allergies may exacerbate atopic dermatitis, but avoidance diets do not cure the problem. Avoidance may exacerbate atopic dermatitis. […] Psychological support: The psychological effects of atopic dermatitis are considerable, for both the sufferer and the carer. Counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy can be beneficial. […] Emollients and moisturisers are an essential aspect of care for all types of dermatitis. They need to be continued long-term in atopic dermatitis even if the skin looks and feels comfortable. They should be applied regularly (2-3 times/day is recommended) and liberally.

  Primary prevention is the most effective means to avoid complications of eczema. Emolients and consumption of prebiotics and probiotics can prevent the occurrence of this condition. […] Exclusive breastfeeding in a duration of three to four months has been proven to reduce the risk of acquiring eczema in children 2 years old. […] Avoidance of allergens is also a helpful method. […] Vitamin D supplementation can regulate the skin barrier. […] Giving hydrolyzed cow’s milk formula in partial or extensive forms to high-risk infants is better than just a cow’s milk formula to reduce risk of eczema. […] Patient and family education is important to consider emphasizing steps on how to prevent occurrence of the disease. […] An interdisciplinary program consisting of a dermatologist, allergologist, psychiatrist, pediatrician, and nurse to improve quality of life. […] Avoid precipitating factors such as seasonal change, dust, furry pets, furry toys, sudden emotional change, and cigarette smoke.

  A high-quality individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis would better identify who benefits most from probiotics, when and why. […] The last few decades of research into the prevention of AD have thrown up very few signals of simple, safe interventions that are likely to be effective at a population level. […] The main exception to the lack of positive findings for AD prevention has been the use of probiotics.

  The evidence that ingested probiotics (non-pathogenic live bacteria or yeasts that can restore a dysfunctional pro-inflammatory gut microbiome) or prebiotics (nondigestible food ingredients that encourage beneficial bacteria to thrive) or both (synbiotics) can prevent AD is gathering momentum. […] A systematic review in 2019 of 22 pooled trials published between January 2008 and May 2018 showed a reduction in AD incidence for those receiving probiotic supplementation during pregnancy and/or infancy. […] The evidence of prebiotics alone was weak due to high risk of bias, inconsistency, imprecision, and indirectness of study results. […] The main exception to the lack of positive findings for AD prevention has been the use of probiotics. […] Probiotic use has consistently shown modest benefit and good safety when tested in different populations around the world, prompting the World Allergy Organisation guideline panel to determine that there is a likely net benefit from using probiotics resulting primarily from prevention of eczema. […] New evidence is likely to emerge on barrier enhancement as a strategy for AD prevention over the next 5 years.

  Two large prevention RCTs have been set up to test the hypothesis that emollients from birth can prevent AD. […] The first of these studies (Barrier Enhancement for Eczema Prevention (BEEP) trial) is investigating daily emollient for the first year of life in babies born to atopic families. […] The second, the Preventing Atopic Dermatitis and Allergies in children study (PreventADALL), is a factorial trial comparing skin care and consecutive introduction of allergenic foods. […] The evidence of prebiotics alone was weak due to high risk of bias, inconsistency, imprecision, and indirectness of study results. […] Although the World Allergy Organisation guideline panel has determined that there is a net benefit of probiotics for AD prevention, concerns regarding the heterogeneity of studies remains.

  While there is little that most people can control related to where they live and work, research is examining the possibility of examining things that can be controlled within the home. […] Good bacteria that reside on and in the human body are absolutely crucial for development of health. […] Supplementation through probiotics with the bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus during pregnancy and after birth until 2 years of age and in children 67 years old was shown in a meta-analysis to statistically significantly reduce AD. […] The most important aspect of current and future prevention research is to continue efforts to understand the biological and multifactorial complexity underlying development of AD.
