Neurodermatitis
Atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema, is a chronic skin disease accompanied by itchy, red rashes. While the exact causes are complex, research in recent years has shown that the microbiome can play a key role in the development and progression of atopic dermatitis. In this article, we take a closer look at how a disturbed microbiome can be linked to atopic dermatitis and what measures can be taken to restore the balance.

Conclusion
The microbiome, consisting of billions of microorganisms in the digestive tract, plays a crucial role in our health. A balanced intestinal flora not only influences digestion and nutrient absorption, but also the immune system. Changes in the microbiome can affect various health problems, including skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis.
Research findings suggest that changes in the microbiome are frequently found in people with atopic dermatitis. An imbalance in the gut can lead to increased production of pro-inflammatory substances that irritate the skin and intensify the agonizing itching. An unbalanced microbiome can also impair the immune system, which in turn can have a detrimental effect on the course of atopic dermatitis.
A balanced diet plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy microbiome. A diet rich in fiber and including fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. At the same time, potentially inflammation-promoting foods such as sugary snacks and highly processed products should be minimized in order to achieve a positive influence on the microbiome.
The conscious intake of probiotics, living microorganisms, can help to restore the disturbed balance in the microbiome. Probiotics are available in various forms, including yogurt, kefir or food supplements. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to identify the optimal probiotics for individual needs.
The external skin flora plays a decisive role in skin health, and this is particularly true in the case of atopic dermatitis, where the skin barrier is often weakened. It is therefore essential to choose mild and moisturizing skin care products that support the skin’s natural barrier function without having an irritating effect.
Stress can have a considerable influence on the microbiome and therefore on the course of atopic dermatitis . Effective stress management techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises or regular physical exercise can not only improve general well-being, but also have a positive impact on skin health.
The links between atopic dermatitis and a disturbed microbiome are multifaceted, but research suggests that targeted care of the microbiome can have a significant impact on skin health. Through a balanced diet, the targeted intake of probiotics, gentle skin care and effective stress management, people with atopic dermatitis can help to promote the balance of their microbiome. It is recommended to work with a dermatologist or functional medicine specialist to develop a personalized treatment strategy. With the appropriate measures, there is the prospect of regaining control over atopic dermatitis and returning to healthy, comfortable skin.
