Cow’s milk protein in probiotic supplements as a trigger of atopic dermatitis: a case report

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial inflammatory skin disease that may be triggered or exacerbated by various internal and external factors. Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is among the most common food allergies in infancy and can contribute to disease flares. Hidden cow’s milk protein in foods or dietary supplements may serve as a trigger in sensitized individuals.
