In adults, an average of only 38% reported having eczema in childhood which makes adult onset eczema much more prevalent than once thought 4. Those with adult onset eczema are less likely to have a family history of asthma or allergies; risk factors include a history of smoking and female gender.
The term eczema refers to a group of inflammatory skin conditions. There are many different types of eczema, categorised based on the underlying cause and skin location affected 2. The lifetime prevalence of eczema is reported to be 28% of the population, but it is most common in children. Up to 20% of children are affected 3, with 60% of cases developing before the age of one year. For most individuals, it resolves in adolescence. There is often a predisposition for the development of other atopic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, known as the “atopic march” 3. Read more about recent clinical research behind probiotics for asthma . Based on this research, health professionals may like to consider gut health and probiotic supplementation as part of any supporting protocol for eczema. When it comes to probiotics for the management of established atopic dermatitis, various clinical trials have assessed different probiotic strains for their ability to help improve the symptoms and quality of life of those suffering with eczema. A recent systematic review evaluating the impact of probiotic supplementation upon symptoms of established eczema around the world showed an overall clinically significant reduction in eczema severity in the probiotic groups versus controls 18. This research is promising, although of uncertain clinical significance due to the heterogeneity of clinical trials 6 , 19. Bifidobacteriumbreve M-16V ®
