Scientists map the hidden world of acne: could your gut hold the key?

NCT ID NCT02713607

Summary

This study aims to understand the underlying biology of acne by comparing people with and without the condition. Researchers will analyze the natural oils on the skin, the bacteria on the skin and in the gut, and fats in the blood. They will look at how these factors change in people with acne after they take a common antibiotic called doxycycline.
