2 inflammatory cascade conversely proposes that protecting the same barrier and promoting adequate interactions with other organs, such as the gut, may be crucial for lowering the risk and preventing atopic diseases, particularly, food allergies. In this review, we provide an overview of structural characteristics that support the epithelial barrier hypothesis in patients with atopic dermatitis, including the most relevant filaggrin gene mutations, the recent discovery of the role of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1, and the role involvement of the microbiome in healthy and damaged skin. We present experimental and human studies that support the mechanisms of allergen penetration, particularly the dual allergen exposure and the outside-in, inside-out, and outside-inside-outside hypotheses. We discuss classic skin-targeted therapies for food allergy prevention, including moisturizers, steroids, and topical calcineurin inhibitors, along with pioneering trials proposed to change their current use (Prevention of Allergy via Cutaneous Intervention and Stopping Eczema and ALlergy). We provide an overview of the novel therapies that enhance the skin barrier, such as probiotics and prebiotics topical application, read-through drugs, direct and indirect FLG replacement, and interleukin and janus kinases inhibitors. Last, we discuss the newer strategies for preventing and treating food allergies in the form of epicutaneous immunotherapy and the experimental use of single-do...
