Study of Skin Microbiome in Atopic Dermatitis Patients

Longitudinal "Real-World" Changes in Skin Microbial Ecology in AD Patients

Everybody's skin has bacteria that normally lives on it. Previous research has shown that people with eczema have higher concentrations of a certain bacteria (S. aureus), especially when their disease is active. The purpose of this study is (a) to see if reductions in another skin bacteria (C. acnes) plays a role in the overgrowth of S. aureus in eczema patients, and (b) to examine how the types of bacteria present in the skin of patients with eczema or psoriasis change with disease activity.
