Summary

This study looks at how bacteria living on the skin influence inflammation and skin barrier damage in people with eczema or other skin diseases. Researchers will collect skin samples and measure things like moisture loss, eczema severity, and quality of life in 100 participants. The goal is to better understand the interaction between skin bacteria and the body's defenses, which could lead to new ways to prevent or treat these conditions.
