Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. It is associated with many problems concerning the structure and function of the stratum corneum, especially the skin barrier function. Deficiencies of downstream metabolites of linoleic acid are associated with the condition. Intervention studies suggest that omega-6 fatty acids, especially γ-linolenic acid, may be useful for mild atopic conditions. Orally ingested and topically applied oils containing γ-linoleic acid improve skin barrier functioning.
