Exploring Topical Probiotics for Eczema: Options Beyond Skinesa
A user seeks alternatives to Skinesa for eczema management through topical probiotics. The assistant provides insights on probiotics' role in skin health and suggests considering products with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains while noting the challenges in skin colonization.
What topical probiotics are good for eczema and are there any ones that will colonise the skin?
ive treid skinesa but now looking for alternativesThe use of topical probiotics for eczema, particularly atopic dermatitis, has been researched to evaluate their effectiveness in managing symptoms. Studies suggest that probiotics can be beneficial in treating eczema by modulating the skin's microbiome and enhancing skin barrier function1. Despite this, the concept of probiotics specifically colonizing the skin is more complex. While topical probiotics can influence the skin microbiome, permanent colonization might not be straightforward due to various factors including skin conditions and individual microbiota balance1.
If you are considering alternatives to Skinesa, you might want to explore other products that contain strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, as these have been most commonly studied in probiotics for skin health1.
