Summary

This study looks at how common topical medications like antifungal creams, mild steroid ointments, and moisturizers change the community of bacteria living on healthy skin. Researchers will track these changes over a short period in 24 adults. The goal is to understand whether these widely used products alter the skin microbiome, which could have implications for skin health.
