TopicHeard in 3 episodes across 3 shows since Jun 2026
The skin microbiome, also known as skin flora or skin microbiota, refers to the diverse communities of microorganisms that reside on the skin, typically human skin. These microorganisms, which include bacteria, fungi, and viruses, are primarily found in the superficial layers of the epidermis and the upper parts of hair follicles. They play a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function, regulating the immune system, and protecting against pathogenic infections.
