Probiotics in dermatology
Journal Title: Український журнал дерматології, венерології, косметології - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, may confer a health benefit on the host. We already know that their use is positively influencing key factors in the development of dermatological diseases such as oxidative stress or inflammation. The most popular use of probiotics in dermatology refers to atopic dermatitis (AD). As it is already demonstrated and widely accepted that probiotics can help to decrease the incidence and severity of AD in infants, much remains to be investigated about its usefulness in the treatment of AD, as well in infants/children as in adults. Similarly, promising data show that probiotics could be of help in acne, but also in wound healing and tissue repair. Much lesser, or even nothing is known about their potential interest in other inflammatory diseases such as rosacea or psoriasis. Besides their demonstrated activity in photoprotection, probiotics appear to be effective on the prevention and even management of skin aging and its more frequent symptoms, such as collagen loss, dry skin and skin barrier function impairment. Normalization of intestinal microflora with the use of probiotics and prebiotics has a positive effect on several skin conditions. Given the special status of the skin, which is directly accessible for topical applications, probiotics may be used as well as systemic course as local one. There is still a long and promising way ahead for investigation, before probiotics can be a daily prescription in dermatology. We are in a preliminary stage when using probiotics in dermatology, and much investigation is needed. With this condition, one day will come, when probiotics will be fully part of the prescription in dermatology.
