We assessed if topical application of probiotics can improve healthy or affected skin. The skin conditions included are rosacea, acne and atopic dermatitis. First, literature about healthy skin, skin conditions and (gut) probiotics was studied. Based on that, we pinpointed mechanisms in healthy and affected skin that could be targeted using probiotics. Next, we looked for bacterial strains that could tackle the selected mechanisms. Simultaneously, we performed a short market study on (non-oral) probiotics. We conclude that healthy skin could be best targeted by improving skin barrier function using sphingomyelinase-producing Streptococcus thermophilus, thereby increasing ceramide levels in the skin. No suitable strains were found for improving rosacea. In acne, Propionibacterium acnes overgrowth could be tackled by inhibiting this bacterium using Staphylococcus epidermidis. Atopic dermatitis could be improved using sphingomyelinase-producing Streptococcus thermophilus. Furthermore, inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus using Esp-secreting Staphylococcus epidermidis could improve atopic dermatitis symptoms. Moreover, clinical studies using Vitreoscilla filiformis lysate showed promise in improving atopic dermatitis, potentially by improving immune tolerance. We also conclude that the market study showed that most available products were intended for disease prevention, healthy skin or skin cleaning. Information about specific strains included was rarely disclosed and claimed working mechanisms were mostly competitive exclusion of pathogens and strengthening of the skin. In our opinion probiotics can have a positive effect on the skin. However, more research is needed to verify the efficacy of the strains found. We recommend further research into the previously mentioned strains for the development of probiotics–containing skin care products. Oral probiotics are more promising to target rosacea than topical probiotics based on current research. A combination of pre- and probiotics could be used to increase their effect, while a combination of pro- and postbiotics could include products of pathogenic bacteria. Inclusion of spores from spore- forming bacteria can be a promising approach to store microorganisms in a product. We advice Skinwiser to research (some or all of) the selected strains. Recommendations for further research are included to help in this process. iii Abbreviations AD : Atopic dermatitis SIBO : Bacterial Overgrowth in Small AMP : Antimicrobial protein Intestine APC : Antigen Presenting Cell SCFAs : Short chain fatty acids APN : Amino-peptidase N SCORAD: SCORing Atopic Dermatitis CE : Cornified envelope SOD : Superoxide dismutases CFMW : CM4-fermented milk whey SP : Substance P CGRP : Calcitonin gene related SST : Somatostatin peptide TEWL : Transepidermal water loss CRH : Corticotrophin Releasing Th-cells : T helper cells Hormone TLR : Toll-like Receptor DCs : Dendritic cells T-regs : Regulatory T-cells DHEA : Dehydroepiandrosterone TRPV1 : Transient receptor potential DHT : Dihydrotestosterone vanilloid subfamily member 1 DP-IV : Dipeptidyl peptidase IV UVB : Ultraviolet B EGFβ : Epidermal growth factor beta VIP : Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Esp : Extracellular serine protease WHO : World Health Organization ETR : Erythematotelangiectatic YopP : Yersinia outer protein P Rosacea FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization FDA : Food and Drug Administration FOS : Fructo-oligosaccharides GI : Gastro-intestinal GOS : Galacto-oligosaccharides GST : Glutathione S-transferase hBD2 : Human β-defensin-2 IBD : Inflammatory bowel disease IBS : Irritable Bowel Syndrome IFNγ : Interferon γ IL-12 : Interleukin-12 IMO : Isomalto-oligosaccharide ITF : Nulin-type fructants KLK5 : Kallikrein 5 LC : Langerhans Cells LGG : Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG LRP : La Roche Posay MAMP : Microbe Associated Molecular Pattern MAP : Mitogen activated protein mEASI : Modified eczema area severity index MED : Minimal Erythemal Dose MMPs : Matrix metalloproteinases MRSA : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus NFκB : Nuclear factor κB NK cells : Natural Killer cells NMF : Natural Moisturizing Factor PAR-2 : protease-activated receptor-2 PPR : Papulopustular Rosacea PRR : Pattern Recognition Receptor ROS : Reactive Oxygen Species iv Table of Contents 1.

  • Pathogenesis of Rosacea Anetta E
    REVIEW Pathogenesis of Rosacea Anetta E. Reszko, MD, PhD; Richard D. Granstein, MD Rosacea is a chronic, common skin disorder whose pathogenesis is incompletely understood. An inter- play of multiple factors, including genetic predisposition and environmental, neurogenic, and microbial factors, may be involved in the disease process. Rosacea subtypes, identified in the recently published standard classification system by the National Rosacea Society Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of Rosacea, may in fact represent different disease processes, and identifying subtypes may allow investigators to pursue more precisely focused studies. New developments in molecular biology and genetics hold promise for elucidating the interplay of the multiple factors involved in the pathogen- esis of rosacea, as well as providing the bases for potential new therapies. osacea is a common, chronic skin disorder and secondary features needed for the clinical diagnosis primarily affecting the central and con- of rosacea. Primary features include flushing (transient vex areas of COSthe face. The nose, cheeks, DERM erythema), persistent erythema, papules and pustules, chin, forehead, and glabella are the most and telangiectasias. Secondary features include burn- frequently affected sites.

    The Great Mimickers of Rosacea Jeannette Olazagasti, BS; Peter Lynch, MD; Nasim Fazel, MD, DDS Practice Points Rosacea is characterized by frequent flushing; persistent erythema (ie, lasting for at least 3 months); telangiectasia; and interspersed episodes of inflammation with swelling, papules, and pustules. Rosacea is most commonly seen in adults older than 30 years and is considered to have a strong hereditary component, as it is more commonly seen in individuals of Celtic and Northern European descent as well as those with fair skin.

  • Otophyma: About a Case
    ACNE, ROSACEA, AND RELATED DISORDERS (INCLUDING HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA) OTOPHYMA: ABOUT A CASE N Maya (1) - E Tababa (1) - Na Vashi (1) Boston University School Of Medicine, Department Of Dermatology, Boston, United States (1) Background: Phyma, a slowly progressive and disfiguring disorder of the face and ears, is generally considered to be an advanced form of rosacea. Interestingly, it may occur in patients with no other signs or symptoms of rosacea. It is caused by sebaceous gland hyperplasia and hypertrophy with surrounding fibrous tissue proliferation. Phyma typically affects the nose (rhinophyma); however, equivalent presentations can occur on the chin (gnatophyma), forehead (metophyma), ears (otophyma), and eyelids (blepharophyma). Although rhinophyma is ubiquitously seen in clinical practice, otophyma (rosaceous lymphedema of the ear) is much more rare and uncommonly reported in the literature. It presents as either unilateral or bilateral edematous ear involvement with or without coexisting facial rosacea. Observation: A 58-year-old Hispanic man presented for evaluation of a one-month history of asymptomatic enlarged ears. He denied any triggers or history of repeated trauma to the affected area. His past medical history was non-contributory and notably negative for thyroid disease, dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, angioedema or sarcoidosis. Physical examination was notable for bilateral diffuse auricular enlargement with mild- moderate edema and without associated overlying erythema, scale, erosion or induration. No paresthesia or dysesthesia was noted. His facial skin was devoid of any other dermatologic conditions. Importantly, he had no other signs of rosacea. The differential diagnosis included leprosy, sarcoidosis and malignancy, particularly angiosarcoma. A punch biopsy of the right ear lobule was notable for a superficial perivascular and perifollicular lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and papillary dermal edema, consistent with rosacea.
