Q. Could legitimately Bacillus bacteria cure dermatitis and eczema? Say if you create a Rod or Bacillus dermatitis antiseptic, would it work?

Yes, it is possible that Bacillus bacteria could legitimately cure dermatitis and eczema. There have been studies conducted on the potential of using certain types of bacteria to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and other forms of dermatitis.
In particular, research has been conducted into the use of probiotic strains of 'good' bacteria which are found naturally in a healthy gut. These good bacterial strains were then tested against various skin diseases with positive results - namely relieving symptoms like itching and redness associated with these conditions.
The idea behind this form of treatment lies in the fact that some bad bacterial strains can cause inflammation in the skin leading to uncomfortable symptoms like those associated with eczema and psoriasis. Introducing certain good bacterial strains (like those found naturally in a healthy gut) may serve to counteract this effect; effectively rendering them harmless while providing relief from itchiness or discomfort caused by irritation or infection.
It is also known that beneficial pre-biotics (natural substances derived from food sources) can help promote beneficial bacteria growth when applied topically to the affected area; prompting a similar healing effect as described above without having to introduce foreign probiotic strains directly into the body via an oral supplement, for example. Studies have even suggested that treatments involving both pre-biotics combined with probiotics showed more successful outcomes when compared with either alone - suggesting that combining these two approaches yields more promising results than either one separately!
So yes - it is entirely possible for Bacillus bacteria (with their numerous beneficial properties) to be used as an antiseptic agent for treating eczema and dermatitis; though further studies are required before we can definitively conclude if this method could become mainstream medicine any time soon!
