Scientists hunt for fungal clues in common skin condition

NCT ID NCT06455891

Summary

This study aimed to understand if specific fungi on the skin are linked to atopic dermatitis (eczema), especially on the head and neck. Researchers compared skin and blood samples from 30 adults with eczema to 15 healthy adults. The goal was to map the skin's fungal community and see how it interacts with the immune system, which could lead to better future treatments.
