This study aimed to investigate the levels of skin moisture and sebum in children with a house dust allergy without skin symptoms. This was a case-control study involving children, aged 0-18 years, who were being followed up for an allergic airway disease in a pediatric allergy clinic. Age, gender, hemogram parameters, and IgE values were evaluated. The skin moisture and sebum percentages of the patients and control group were measured by a non-invasive bioimpedance method using a portable digital skin moisture and sebum measurement device on the cubital fossa. The median value of the skin moisture percentage in the house dust mite allergy-positive patient group was significantly lower than that in the house dust mite allergy-negative patients and the control group ( < 0.001). The house dust mite allergy-positive patient group had the lowest skin sebum content. However, there was no statistical significance among the groups in terms of skin sebum percentage ( = 0.102). In the study, children with a house dust allergy were found to have lower levels of skin moisture and sebum. The regular use of moisturizers for children with a house dust allergy should be kept in mind as an effective solution to protect the skin barrier and reduce skin symptoms.
本研究旨在调查无皮肤症状的屋尘过敏儿童的皮肤水分和皮脂水平。这是一项病例对照研究，纳入了0至18岁在儿科过敏诊所接受过敏性气道疾病随访的儿童。评估了年龄、性别、血常规参数和IgE值。使用便携式数字皮肤水分和皮脂测量设备，通过非侵入性生物阻抗方法在肘窝测量患者和对照组的皮肤水分和皮脂百分比。屋尘螨过敏阳性患者组的皮肤水分百分比中位数显著低于屋尘螨过敏阴性患者和对照组（<0.001）。屋尘螨过敏阳性患者组的皮肤皮脂含量最低。然而，各组之间在皮肤皮脂百分比方面无统计学意义（=0.102）。在该研究中，发现屋尘过敏儿童的皮肤水分和皮脂水平较低。应牢记，经常为屋尘过敏儿童使用保湿剂是保护皮肤屏障和减轻皮肤症状的有效解决办法。
