Overview
The mechanism of disease of eczema involves a complex interplay of abnormalities of skin microbiomes, a dysfunction in the epidermal barrier, and an immune dysregulation. [1] There are two main theories on the existence of atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema - the inside-out hypothesis, and the outside-in hypothesis.
Pathophysiology
- There are two main theories on the existence of atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema - the inside-out hypothesis, and the outside-in hypothesis.[2]
- Inside-out hypothesis
- This hypothesis denotes that some allergic triggers weaken the skin barrier that leads to more introduction of allergens to the area, causing more inflammatory reaction.[2]
- Outside-in hypothesis
- This hypothesis suggests that an impairment of the skin barrier should occur first before the onset of atopic dermatitis.
- This involves the down-regulation of filaggrin genes (FLG) responsible for maintenance of the proper function of skin barrier.[2] [3]
