Skin and oral intervention for food allergy prevention based on dual allergen exposure hypothesis

Early-onset atopic dermatitis increases an individual's risk of food allergies, suggesting that transcutaneous sensitization may occur through inflamed skin. Regarding food tolerance, whereas allergen exposure via inflamed skin causes food allergies. This hypothesis suggests that it is important to induce oral immune tolerance and prevent allergic food sensitization through the skin. This review focuses on the breakthrough evidence based on the dual allergen exposure hypothesis that involves both skin and oral interventions for food allergy prevention.
