Atopic dermatitis (AD), characterized by skin barrier dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, is closely linked to immune microenvironment imbalance. Growing evidence highlights the crucial role of microorganisms and their metabolites in immune regulation. Understanding their molecular mechanisms in AD, combined with precision nutrition-driven personalized network analysis, will accelerate innovative intervention strategies. This review summarizes these regulatory mechanisms and current research progress, outlining applications, challenges, and limitations for key targets, such as the TSLP-ILC2-IL-13 axis, IL-31-TRP channels, and SCFA-GPR43 signaling. The precision nutrition-driven approach will leverage multi-omics data, including metagenomics, metabolomics, and host transcriptomics, with integration techniques such as network analysis and machine learning to explore the spatio-temporal regulation of the immune microenvironment. Beyond immunomodulation, dietary factors significantly impact AD progression. We propose "precision nutrition" strategies to mitigate AD risk and burden, including microbiota-targeted dietary patterns, personalized probiotics, and delivery systems for "precise skin nutrition." Synergizing traditional interventions with localized innovations and interdisciplinary tools is expected to enable precise, spatio-temporal immune regulation. This enhances understanding of microorganism-metabolite, precision nutrition, and immune microenvironment connections, advancing AD intervention and treatment.
