Article Abstract

Atopic dermatitis, more commonly known as atopic eczema, is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disorder characterized by dry skin, localized erythematous rash, and intense pruritus. The clinical manifestations are variable and age dependent. As one of the most common skin disorders globally, atopic dermatitis poses a significant clinical and economic burden on affected patients. Individual treatment strategies are imperative in improving patient outcomes and reducing these burdens. Recent advances in understanding the genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors influencing atopic dermatitis have opened avenues for novel treatment modalities.

Current treatments, such as corticosteroids and immunomodulators, often provide symptomatic relief but can lead to adverse effects with prolonged use. Seaweed, a sustainable and nutrient-dense resource, has emerged as a promising alternative due to its rich bioactive compounds-polysaccharides, phlorotannins, polyphenols, and chlorophyll-that offer anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties.
