Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease characterized by dry, itchy skin and inflammation. It occurs most frequently in children and can be a significant burden for affected children and their families.
There is currently no cure for atopic dermatitis, but there are various alternative treatment options that can alleviate symptoms and improve the course of the disease. One option that has increasingly come into focus in recent years is taking probiotics to relieve atopic dermatitis symptoms.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are living microorganisms that are consumed when we eat. They are contained in various foods, such as yogurt, kefir and sauerkraut. Since the intake through food is usually not sufficient due to our modern diet, it is advisable to take probiotics as a dietary supplement.
Probiotics are believed to have a positive effect on the intestinal flora. The intestinal flora is a complex ecosystem of bacteria that plays an important role in the immune system and general health.
Can probiotics prevent atopic dermatitis in children?
There is some evidence that probiotics may reduce the risk of atopic dermatitis in children. A 2017 study showed that taking probiotics reduced the risk of atopic dermatitis diagnosis by 14% in infants who were at increased risk for atopic dermatitis.
Another study from 2020 showed that taking probiotics could improve symptoms of the disease in children with atopic dermatitis. The children who took probiotics had less itching and inflammation and required fewer topical steroids.
How do probiotics work for neurodermatitis?
The exact mechanism of action of probiotics in atopic dermatitis is not yet fully understood. However, it is suspected that probiotics have a positive effect on the intestinal flora and can therefore regulate the immune system.
One way probiotics can work on atopic dermatitis is through the production of short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce inflammation in the skin.
Another way probiotics can work for atopic dermatitis is by modulating the immune system. Probiotics can help regulate the activity of immune cells and thereby reduce allergic reactions.
