clinical trials showed that the incidence of egg allergy was reduced when a drug that suppresses inflammation was applied to babies with atopic dermatitis at an early stage. The group says that it has demonstrated for the first time that starting skin treatment early can lead to the prevention of food allergies.

The study was published by a group led by Kiwako Yamamoto, director of the National Center for Child Health and Development, in an international journal specializing in the field of allergy. It shows that selecting drugs according to the symptoms and severity can help control allergies.
