Host Sonal Choudhary, MD, the Director of the Integrative Dermatology and Skincare Clinic at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh, PA, talks to Peter Lio, MD, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology and Pediatrics at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and a partner at Medical Dermatology Associates of Chicago in Chicago, IL, about the role that probiotics can play in the prevention and treatment of eczema.

Key takeaways:

  • ·With eczema, bacteria are imbalanced on the skin and in the gut. Some studies show oral probiotics may help. This is why Dr. Lio suggests all his patients take a multi-strain probiotic.
  • There likely is not a one-size-fits-all probiotic for eczema due to the heterogeneity of the condition.
  • ·Most eczema patients can also benefit from vitamin D supplementation.
