The human skin is a dynamic ecosystem that is home to a vast array of microorganisms,
collectively referred to as the skin microbiome. Research has increasingly highlighted the
significant role the skin microbiome plays in maintaining skin health and the development of
various skin conditions, including acne, eczema, and psoriasis. This paper explores the
intricate relationship between the skin microbiome and these dermatological disorders. It
provides an overview of the composition of the skin microbiome, examines the mechanisms
through which microbial imbalances can lead to skin pathologies, and discusses the potential
implications of microbiome-targeted therapies. Understanding the microbiome's influence on
skin health offers new avenues for developing treatments and preventative strategies for these
common skin conditions.
