  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. […] 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. […] Just like we can prevent infectious diseases like polio, it should be possible to prevent eczema (atopic dermatitis), food allergy and asthma.

  Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a serious epidemiological problem in industrialized countries. […] The article describes primary prevention of AD as well as prophylactic measures to avoid skin eczema. […] Primary prevention applies to children in whom no signs of the disease have been observed yet, but who are predisposed to atopic diseases. It aims at activities that will reduce the risk of developing AD in the future. […] The beneficial methods which can protect against development of AD are: breastfeeding or ingestion eHF in the first 46 months of age, introduction of solid food after 46 months of age, administration of probiotic bacteria in pregnant women 24 weeks before delivery and in infants for 6 months after birth, reduction of administration of antibiotics in infants, avoiding houses under renovation during pregnancy, avoiding infections in infants.

  Most things that have been tried so far to prevent eczema including exclusive breastfeeding, timing of starting solids, supplements like Vitamin D and reducing house dust mite do not seem to work. […] Taking probiotics (friendly gut bacteria) during pregnancy probably reduces the risk of eczema by around 20%, although we are still not sure what combination is best. […] New research is trying to find out if special creams that make a baby’s skin barrier stronger can prevent eczema. […] 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 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). […]

  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 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.

• #1 Prevention of Atopic Dermatitis

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9189742/

  The evidence of prebiotics alone was weak due to high risk of bias, inconsistency, imprecision, and indirectness of study results. […] A comprehensive review of probiotics across all human diseases concluded that the evidence for benefit in allergic diseases was still uncertain and a stimulus for further studies rather than firm clinical recommendations. […] The WAO guideline panel suggests using probiotics in: (i) pregnant women at high risk of having an allergic child; (ii) women who are breastfeeding infants at high risk of developing allergy; and (iii) infants at high risk of developing allergy. […] New evidence is likely to emerge on barrier enhancement as a strategy for AD prevention over the next 5 years, especially through the SCiPAD prospectively planned meta-analysis.

  If the results prove positive, intensive application of emollients would constitute an effective, safe, and cheap preventive strategy, he observed. […] As a result of these findings, a UK prevention trial is underway in which home water softeners are provided to families at high risk of having a baby with AD in water districts with high calcium carbonate concentrations. […] Dr. Flohr said there is a signal that maternal intake of probiotics including lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in the third trimester and postnatally may reduce a child’s risk of developing AD by encouraging establishment of a more diverse gut microflora. […] He cited a meta-analysis of 14 published studies of probiotics which provided evidence of a 21% reduction in the incidence of AD in young children.

  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. […] […] While AD is a global disease, we know that aspects of an individuals environment can play a role in the development of AD. For example, there is much higher prevalence of AD in industrialized nations. Further, exposure to allergens like dust mite and cockroaches, or to conditions that impact skin colonization of S. aureus impact AD development. […] […] Good bacteria that reside on and in the human body are absolutely crucial for development of health. Biodiversity, which is an abundance of all kinds of bacteria rather than reduced diversity such as happens with skin colonization of S. aureus, is important to prevent infections and to stimulate the immune system to appropriately develop. Several studies have examined whether enhancing certain bacteria using probiotics either during pregnancy, during breastfeeding or in the infant at high risk of developing AD may actually help prevent AD.

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

  A diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD) can result in multiple physical burdens for affected individuals, as well as reduced quality of life and negative social and economic impact. Eczema patients and caregivers, healthcare providers, and AD researchers would love to be able to prevent AD symptoms from developing in the first place. While decades of research into prevention of AD has been performed, this ideal remains elusive and challenging to solve. […] […] The causes of AD are plentiful and so, similar to the fact that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for AD, there is also no single approach to try to prevent AD. AD is a complex disease involving a defective skin barrier, an abnormally activated immune system, skin microbiome alterations and environmental exposures, among other contributing factors. Methods of AD prevention examined in research have focused on improving the skin barrier through use of emollients and moisturizers, reducing exposure to allergens or altering the development of the immune system both before and after birth, and altering the microbiome through use of probiotic supplements taken by either a mother or an infant. […]

  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).

  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.

  If the results prove positive, intensive application of emollients would constitute an effective, safe, and cheap preventive strategy, he observed. […] As a result of these findings, a UK prevention trial is underway in which home water softeners are provided to families at high risk of having a baby with AD in water districts with high calcium carbonate concentrations. […] Dr. Flohr said there is a signal that maternal intake of probiotics including lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in the third trimester and postnatally may reduce a child’s risk of developing AD by encouraging establishment of a more diverse gut microflora. […] He cited a meta-analysis of 14 published studies of probiotics which provided evidence of a 21% reduction in the incidence of AD in young children.

  Perhaps surprisingly, however, MASCC panelists did recommend one (and only one) natural plant product as a preventive agent: olive oil. […] The MASCC panelists also recommended 5 other ARD-preventive agents: Betamethasone, Hydrofilm, Mepitel film, Mometasone, Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy. […] Just because the evidence supports these agents use for ARD prevention does not mean they are useful in managing ARD once it occurs. […] The MASCC Oncodermatology Study Group will update its recommendations as new evidence comes to light about the best ways to prevent or treat ARD.
