Scientists map how your skin creams mess with your microbes

NCT ID NCT03437005

Summary

This study aims to understand how everyday skin treatments like antifungal creams and mild steroid ointments change the mix of bacteria and other microbes living on healthy skin. Researchers will apply these creams to small areas on the arms of 24 healthy adult volunteers and then take skin swabs to see what happens. The goal is to gather basic knowledge about how these common medications work, which could help inform future treatments for skin conditions like eczema.
