Early Predictors of Atopic Dermatitis and Food Allergy

Researchers have shown significant interest in the early prediction of atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) by analyzing factors such as genetics, skin barrier function, skin lipid profiles, epidermal cytokine profiles, cutaneous microbiome, and environmental influences, including air pollution and temperature. Early intervention is critical for preventing and mitigating the severity and progression of AD and FA. This article explored the pathogenesis of both AD and FA and highlighted the potential of skin tape stripping as a promising noninvasive tool for identifying predictive and follow-up biomarkers in infants predisposed to these conditions.
