dermatitis

"Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition driven by the immune system and often precedes the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis," explained medical student Tristan Nguyen, BS, the lead author of the study.

Researchers say their bodies are covered with “irritant hairs” that, if touched, can cause dermatitis and a rash.

Vaccines currently in development for Staphylococcus aureus infections, including MRSA, might have the side effect of fighting atopic dermatitis, cellulitis and impetigo — maybe even acne.

The loss of this balanced skin microbiota can lead to diseases such as atopic dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis.

It could also pave the way for a better understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying certain skin diseases, such as psoriasis or atopic dermatitis.
