    Glossary Skin Microbiome

    diverse community of microorganisms living on the skin's surface

    The skin microbiome, also known as the cutaneous microbiome or skin flora, refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites, that reside on the skin's surface. These microorganisms play a crucial role in protecting against pathogens, modulating the immune system, and maintaining skin health. Understanding the skin microbiome is essential for both laypersons and professionals as it has implications for conditions like acne, eczema, and even alopecia.
