Scientists map the invisible world on your skin
NCT ID NCT00605878
Summary
This study aims to understand the community of tiny organisms (like bacteria and fungi) that live on human skin. Researchers will compare the skin microbes of healthy people to those with moderate-to-severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) and some rare immune disorders. By taking skin swabs, scrapes, and small samples, they hope to learn how these microbes might contribute to skin health and disease.
