skin-conditions — open questions

  • Does “sweat allergy” (IgE to Malassezia MGL_1304) occur in toddlers aged 1–4, and does it explain summer flares in this age group? Evidence comes almost entirely from older Japanese patients. (Heat and Sweat)
  • Do pollen-avoidance measures (indoor drying of laundry, washing after outdoor play) reduce eczema severity in pollen-sensitised toddlers? No trials found. (Pollen)
  • How often is infant/toddler “eczema” that does not respond to treatment later re-diagnosed as psoriasis or psoriasis-eczema overlap, and does the overlap change long-term prognosis? (Psoriasis)
