Daily Emollient Use In Early Infancy Tied To Lower Atopic Dermatitis Incidence At 2 Years Of Age, Study Finds

Dermatology Advisor (8/27, Saha) reported a study found that "daily full-body application of emollients starting in early infancy reduced the incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) at 2 years of age in a diverse United States population." Researchers observed that "at 2 years, the cumulative incidence of AD was significantly lower in the intervention group (36.1%) compared with the control group (43.0%), yielding a relative risk (RR) of 0.84. The protective effect of daily emollient use was especially notable among infants without a family history of atopic disease. The presence of a dog in the household enhanced the protective effect, while no added benefit was observed in households without pets." The study was published in JAMA Dermatology.
